Harding grass (Phalaris aquatica (P. tuberosa)) Info A
perennial grass that tends to grow along rivers and creek banks,
this plant is associated with Neptune. Like P. arundinacea, this
phalaris grows from rhizomes (looks like a thick root found near
the surface of the soil) and can form thick tussocks. It was introduced
to the US from Australia as a forage plant for sheep but has become
naturalized in California. Keeping the plant cut will increase
its spread horizontally. This seed comes from a wholesaler specializing in wetlands reclamation;
it is not developed for forage.Top |
