Chrysopogon fulvus
Also called Golden Beard Grass, Reddish Yellow Beardgrass
Red false beardgrass is a perennial tufted grass from the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, used as palatable pasture for livestock and tolerant of semi-arid conditions. It is a field and pasture grass rather than a common garden or houseplant, so success depends on giving it open, sunny ground with well-drained soil.
Chrysopogon fulvus, called Guria grass, red false beard grass, and reddish-yellow beardgrass, is a species of grass (family Poaceae), subfamily Panicoideae. It is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and has been introduced to Florida. It is a palatable pasture grass, relished by oxen. It does well in semi-arid conditions.
