The best part with native grasses is that unlike plants they do not need much care. For those, who are looking for pants that look stunning to their garden, yet need minimal maintenance, native grasses are the best option available with ease. Once they get established they require low watering. These are strong, but they appear delicate. Whereas they create a fantastic natural feel in your native garden, they look amazingly good when complemented with other plants or ornamental features.

These grasses are also good for native gardens in terms of local environment. They naturally attract native insects to your garden. This in turn will encourage birds and small animals to land in your garden. You can even expect frogs in your lawn if it has water features like ponds. Native grasses are also favorable for butterflies as they lay their eggs on the grasses and roam around wattles, wildflowers, and several native plants to get nectar.

Native grasses are of many types. For Australian climate, tropical grasses can be a suitable climate. Surprisingly, there are different colors available in this grass type. You can choose one from yellow, tan, purple and blue. Some of them vary in color from season to season, such as the Silky Blue Grasses which are green in spring and blue in winter. Choose whichever suits your native garden the best.
