Grass plants

[cranberry]

Does anyone know where one can purchase established grass plants that can provide green seed for finches? Maybe Johnson's grass etc.

Do what I did. Talk nice to other bird keepers who live near by and if you are lucky they will dig up a small plant or 2 that you can move to your place.

Yep did that. I got a nice clump of Johnsons grass from a kind breeder. Thanks.

I was given some Johnson grass by the guy I bought my first gouldians from. I just bought some Guinea grass from a guy at the Tanunda sale yesterday.
Each sale I have been to there has been someone selling cuttings in pots.

if you lived over here , i could have given you some green panic/guinea grass that i have in small pots.....the stuff goes feral but gives alot of seeding heads......pete

If you've got Green Panic grownig nearby, cut it back so there are no leaves on it & the stems are about 4 - 6 inches high, then just dig it out, wack it in a pot and give it a hose.

ive been looking all around perth for any kind of seeding grass and the only stuff i found was some wild african feather grass which doesnt seem particularly loved... anyone have any excess theyd be willing to part with?

The Guinea grass Pete mentioned is the go on this side of the country. Think Pete is at the other end of the city to you, but I am way north. So maybe you better talk nice to him.
