Weeping grass – wild harvest
Microlaena stipoides

Wild harvested Weeping grass (Microlaena stipoides) is adapted to a very wide variety of soil types. For instance, some types have a broad range of pH adaptation. Generally, the rule of thumb is that most prefer acidic soils. Some varieties of this grass can survive in strongly acidic soils and others in alkaline soil. Wild harvested Weeping Grass may contain more impurities than our Griffin or Burra Weeping Grass as it has been harvested from wild stands of grass.

BEST USE FOR WILD HARVESTED WEEPING GRASS

This is an extremely versatile and useful grass. Weeping grass has an attractive appearance, persistence and high grazing value, as well as tolerance of shade and acid soils. As a result this grass is an incredibly popular choice across all industries. Wild harvested Weeping Grass lends itself mainly to pasture and revegetation applications.

Additionally, weeping grass is a great option for roadsides, municipal parks and gardens as it requires little to no maintenance. Once established, this native provides persistent ground cover once established and requires mowing roughly 3-4 times a year. The dense foliage and soft leaves means that this grass produces a very high quality lawn. If you have issues where shading is common from buildings, fences and trees, this is the grass you need.

• Golf course roughs – Weeping grass does not grow too tall and will permit mis-hit balls to be found.
• Pastures in acid soils of moderate to high rainfall where high quality fodder, low fertilizer needs and persistence are valued.
• Revegetation in conjunction with other native grasses for river and stream edges to reduce erosion.
• Inter-row sowing and within-row sowing in vineyards and other horticulture where the persistence of the grass, its low growth and its shade tolerance make it a good choice in the right districts.
