Selected species: Indian bluegrass
Indian bluegrass, also known as Indian couch, grass grows best in a warm climate and has become naturalised in central and drier areas of northern Queensland. It is a very drought hardy plant growing where an annual rainfall range of 500 mm to 900 mm per year is seen. It is suited to well-drained loam and clay soils, yet will also grow better than most other grasses on difficult to manage, forest soils.
Mowing height is 20 mm to 30 mm.
