Poa Labillardierei (Common Tussock Grass) is a hardy, perennial grass native to Australia, known for its dense clumping growth habit and fine, bluish-green foliage. It produces delicate flower spikes that rise above the foliage in late spring to summer, adding texture and movement to the landscape.
This versatile and low-maintenance grass thrives in a variety of conditions, from coastal environments to inland areas. It is drought-tolerant, frost-resistant, and ideal for erosion control, revegetation projects, or as an ornamental feature in native gardens. Its adaptability and year-round structure make it a valuable addition to sustainable landscapes.
