Wiry panic grass is a native Australian perennial grass adapted to partial shade and moist, well-drained soils in warm-temperate to subtropical regions. It requires minimal maintenance once established and is best suited to naturalistic garden plantings or native habitat restoration projects. Water regularly during the first season to help roots establish, then reduce frequency as the plant matures.
