The Grass Weeds are commonly overlooked, however, exotic grass species are invading roadsides, reserves and bushland in Sydney and aggressively displace native ground covers.
Although many of these species are desirable pasture grasses and turf grasses in home lawns, parks and playing fields, they are also problematic bushland and garden weeds because they are capable of setting copious volumes of viable seed within a short time of germination. While many of these species only invade disturbed areas with adequate light levels, some of these species are also shade tolerant, and thus can invade intact bushland areas.
