Poa labillardieri is naturally found in eastern Australia from Queensland to Tasmania appearing mainly along the coast and on the adjoining tablelands.

It prefers a well drained moderately fertile sandy soil in an open sunny position and is drought and frost tolerant. 

Tussock Grass is grown for its rounded habit and is planted in open fields or along watercourses as a soil stabiliser. It is also used in parks and gardens in front borders or mass planted on embankments. It establishes from division in one season and is used in bush regeneration projects. ID 930
