Rytidosperma setaceum

Rytidosperma setaceum, or Bristly Wallaby Grass, is a delicate, tufted perennial grass native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, woodlands, and rocky slopes. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it forms neat clumps of fine green foliage and produces slender, wiry stems topped with small, intricate seed heads that appear in spring and summer, creating a graceful and understated display.

This species thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates full sun, drought, and frost, making it ideal for native gardens, revegetation projects, and low-maintenance landscapes. Bristly Wallaby Grass supports biodiversity by providing habitat for insects and food for birds. It is also valuable for soil stabilization in degraded or eroded areas.

With its refined appearance, adaptability, and ecological contributions, Rytidosperma setaceum is a versatile and attractive choice for sustainable landscaping and habitat restoration.
