Lachnagrostis billardieri (River Tussock Grass) is a hardy Australian native grass that forms soft, flowing clumps of fine green foliage with delicate airy seed heads. Its graceful texture adds movement and natural structure to garden spaces while maintaining a clean and low maintenance appearance throughout the year.

This grass is well suited to riparian plantings, native gardens, and restoration areas where soil stabilisation and erosion control are important. It performs reliably in moist to moderately dry conditions and adapts well to a range of soil types. Customers choose it for its resilience, ecological value, and ability to support biodiversity by providing habitat and shelter for insects and small wildlife while contributing to sustainable landscape design.
