PhalarisPhalaris n - A large tillered, blue-green perennial grass with a Mediterranean origin
Phalaris has a Mediterranean origin which means it has excellent winter and spring production, but it becomes vegetatively dormant in drought conditions. It is a rhizomatous grass that requires soils of moderate to high fertility and is well adapted to wet winters and dry summers.
Phalaris withstands hard grazing and treading, and once established, has excellent resistance to grass grub and other pasture pests. It can withstand severe drought, and although autumn recovery is slower than for a tall fescue, it will continue growing for longer into the cool season. Under irrigation, production will continue through summer and autumn.
