Phalaris tuberosa is a drought tolerant perennial grass suited to marginal Victoria pastures. It grows in areas with over 18 inches of annual rainfall and is sown in autumn or spring, though spring sowing is risky with unreliable late rains.

Seed should be sown on well worked fallow, 1 to 2 pounds per acre, and Phalaris competes better once established.
