Grass, Grain & Ornamental Grass Seeds

Home  Grass, Grain & Ornamental Grass Seeds

Grass, grain and ornamental grass species raised from seed: lawn and turf grasses, pasture and hay mixtures, green manures, cereals such as rice, maize, sorghum and millet, and the ornamental grasses and sedges grown for borders, pots and pond edges. Salt-tolerant species used for reclamation and dryland grazing sit alongside the cereals. Each profile covers the species across its native range, how it behaves under mowing, grazing or harvest, 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 135 species entries. Last updated November 2026.
