Themeda triandra Kangaroo Grass

Themeda triandra, or Kangaroo Grass, is a resilient, clumping native Australian grass known for its distinctive, arching foliage that varies from green to reddish-brown through the seasons.

Growing up to a meter tall, it produces stunning, feathery flower heads with an orange tinge in late spring and summer. Ideal for dry, well-drained soils, Themeda triandra thrives in full sun to partial shade and is drought-tolerant, making it perfect for low-maintenance gardens and sustainable landscapes.

To establish, plant it in early spring, water moderately until established, then reduce watering. This grass requires minimal care, with occasional trimming after flowering to encourage fresh growth.

Its striking colors, tolerance to poor soils, and suitability for wildlife gardens make it a popular choice among gardeners seeking a low-impact, native landscaping option.
