Yatheroo oat
Avena barbata
Yatheroo oat is a slender annual grass valued for its ornamental seed heads and naturalistic planting schemes in sunny, open areas. It is easy to grow in poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soils and requires little supplemental watering once established. It self-seeds readily, so deadhead after flowering if you wish to limit its spread.
