Rare plant seeds for botanical research & cultivation

  • Staff inspecting young seedlings in a commercial greenhouse nursery
  • Researchers inspecting seed samples under microscopes in a glasshouse laboratory
  • Potting and transplanting young seedlings in a traditional glasshouse

Grass, forage and turf species raised from seed: lawn grasses, pasture and hay mixtures, green manures, and the salt-tolerant plants used for reclamation and dryland grazing. Each profile covers the species across its native range, how it behaves under mowing or grazing, the seeding rate and timing that actually work, and the cultivars that matter in the trade. Notes are written from field experience rather than catalogue copy.

This section now holds 26 species entries. Last updated November 2026.
