Summary

edit
Description

Native, warm-season, perennial grass growing in tufts up to 2m tall. Common on heavy clay soils, it prefers good moisture, high fertility, and neutral to alkaline soils. Mostly found on the Slopes and near Plains in NSW. Particularly frost sensitive but drought tolerant. Provides a competitive perennial pasture which is resilient to weed invasion. Provides moderate quality feed for livestock when vegetative; low quality when flowering. More readily grazed by cattle than sheep. Seeds can cause injury to stock, especially sheep.

Heavy grazing or slashing at flowering will reduce seed contamination, but may reduce the populations over time. Tolerates heavy grazing over summer and autumn, but occasionally resting at flowering will aid persistence.
