A beautiful grass for lawns, pasture and revegetation.
Wallaby grass can come in a variety of sizes ranging from Oxley Wallaby grass - which grows to a maximum of about 30cm tall - to much larger varieties reaching over a metre in height.
Wallaby grass requires very little maintenance once established. It's long roots allow it to absorb plenty of nutrients from the soil and survive periods of drought and high heat.
Oxley Wallaby grass (Austrodanthonia geniculata) is perfect for lawns as it's slow-growing and requires very infrequent mowing.
The taller varieties such as Hume Wallaby grass (Austrodanthonia richardsonii) are highly palatable grasses for pasture and contain a low amount of non-structural carbohydrates making them very safe for horses. We use Wallaby grass in our Gallop Horse Pasture seed mix to help prevent laminitis and founder in horses and ponies.
