Its a stretch but would anyone happen to know what types of grasses Avione source for their "swamp grass" packs ,
I have identified 3 different types ... Chloris truncata , Arundinella spicata and Panicum effusum .
I have another pack with a mystery seed ... it is black and looks similar to chia ?
Cheers

A picture for reference .... definitely a panicum , thinking maybe effusum again .
Hoping so as that is the type the caterpillars got stuck into and destroyed .
Going to see how they germinate .

Mate just seen this one, to much forum for me to look at . The other week I had to spread some kikuyu seed that look similar to some of that. I should have kept some to compare .. pete

All good Pete , I've since found out on the net that it is native proso millet ... its great nesting material and the birds love the seed heads , got plenty of seed if you want some .
