Propagation
This grass is normally reproduced vegetatively by division during early spring.

Sow fresh seed in situ in a prepared bed and rolling ensures close contact between soil and seed, keep moist.

Botanic information
Leaf: The dark green lanceolate leaves are up to 160 mm (6¼ in) long by 18 mm (⅞ in) wide and are flat or folded with an acute or obtuse apex. The glaborous or hirsute keeled leaf sheath is compressed and the ligule is fringed. 

Flower: The inflorescence is a panicle that has 2-5 slender spike-like racemes up to 70 mm (2⅔ in) long that is normally paired and has a long slender pedicle. The spikelets are up to 4 mm (⅛ in) long and are arranged alternately along the flattened rachis and appear during summer.

Fruit: The pericarp is fused with the seed (caryopsis); the seeds are very small with up to 3,000,000 per kg. The small seeds are viable but the plant can be reproduced vegetatively.
