Native Grass Seedling ID Guide - (Part 1) Cool Season Grasses: Weeping grass. Microlaena stipoides seedlings are medium sized and start with a rounded tip. They have a flat bladed leaf that often falls backwards. The older leaves display a crimp or sharp narrowing towards the tip. The leaves often have a twist through 90o along their length. Hairs are commonly found at the junction of the leaf and the sheath that accompany the auricle which extends the full way around the stem. #nativeseeds #nativeaustralianplants #nativeaustralianflora#nativeaustralianfloraandfauna #australianlandscapes #australianlandscape #microlaenastipoides #weepinggrass #australiangardens #aussiebackyards #australianlandscape https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw0az0bFc76/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cs7j84qouyxq

Our Southern Revegetation mix is a great way to enhance biodiversity by re-establishing native vegetation of degraded nhanced biodiversity by re-establishing native vegetation on a degraded site. The key to any revegetation project is to focus on actively reintroducing material onto a site where they have ceased to occur naturally or are endanger of disappearing. We suggest that people use native grasses as the first stage of a well-planned revegetation program that will span several years. Grasses are the primary colonisers of new landscapes. They hold the fresh and unstable soil together and in doing so they establish the soil conditions for the successful establishment of the secondary and tertiary colonizers, the shrubs and trees.

Native Grass Seedling ID Guide - Part 1 Cool Season Grasses: Wallaby grass Rytidosperma spp. or Austrodanthonia spp. seedlings are very small, fine and thin with some leaves as narrow as 1.5 mm across. Early seedlings tend to have a widening leaf with a narrower base. The leaves are folded, rather than rolled as they emerge. In slightly older plants they can be identified by the presence of hairs at the junction of the leaf and the stem. The leaves are vertical and only the older leaves lie flat to the ground. Some leaves have a full 180o twist along their length. #nativeseeds #nativeaustralianplants #nativeaustralianflora #nativeaustralianfloraandfauna #australianlandscapes #australianlandscape #wallaby #wallabygrass #rytidosperma https://www.instagram.com/p/BwlLWXQFNot/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aabkgmciok8v

Many native grasses have been noted for their slow establishment but our native wheat grass is definitely an exception. Native Wheat grass is a cool season grass of high pasture quality with high vigour that can produce similar volumes of foliage to perennial ryegrass. It is highly persistent through drought and any summer rainfall promotes rapid growth. Incidentally it is now recognised as being one of the most valuable fodder grasses for horses owing to its significant bulk of dry matter and low sugar content.

TIPS & TRICKS FROM LEADERS IN THE INDUSTRY - TIP 3 The latest tip we are sharing comes from Darren Vincent, the producer of our premium lawn seed Griffin Weeping grass. Darren recommends that when you sow Griffin weeping grass (or any weeping grass for that matter) DO NOT apply fertiliser. Griffin has adapted over thousand of years to Australian natural soils types , which are slightly acidic and low in phosphorus. Introduced grass species prefer quiet the opposite , that's why horticulalist recommend apply “starter” fertilizer and lime when sowing grass seeds. Weeping Grass doesn’t need fertiliser to germinate strongly and applying a high phosphorus fertiliser can actually prevent Weeping grass from germinating. So when you sow your new Griffin lawn keep it simple, seed, good soil contact and water, easy!! #nativeaustralianflora #aussiebackyards #australiangrasses #lawnscaping #lawnporn #nativeaustralianplants #griffin #lawns https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCqIPMgtFi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j5jaxpky7ka0
