Kneed Wallaby Grass is a tough, fine-leaved Aussie native that’s perfect for dry spots, native lawns, or natural-style gardens. It’s known for its bendy, “kneed” stems that give it a bit of character.

Low-maintenance, drought-hardy, and great for adding a soft, grassy texture to your space - easygoing and good-looking all year round. Favourite of the endangered native golden sun moth too!
