Description
The Australian Common Tussock-grass (Poa labillardieri) is a native grass species that exhibits fine, tufted blades and a distinct tussock-like growth habit. This perennial grass forms dense clumps with the foliage often tinged with blue-green hues and can reach a height of up to 120cm.
Distribution
Widespread across Australia, the Common Tussock-grass thrives in a variety of habitats, from coastal heathlands to mountainous regions. Its adaptability to diverse environments, including forests and open woodlands, makes it a common sight in all mainland states.
Recognized for its resilience and ability to withstand various climates, this grass species is a vital component of Australia’s native vegetation.
Propagation
Propagation is typically achieved through seed germination. Sow the seeds in well- prepared soil, ensuring they are in contact with the ground. Sunlight and moisture are crucial for successful germination. Once established, the grass can also propagate naturally through its rhizomatous roots, forming new continuous tufts.
