Thanks :)

I also have blue fescue...I'm not sure if it's native, but I've seen 'similar' looking grasses in the botanical gardens.

Anyway, such grasses like the one above seem to form new clumps quite liberally. How do you usually divide and/or remove grasses when they're become quite large and established?

You'll need a photo of the flower rather than the seeds if you want a good Id. Also, is it a runner grass? How often does it flower (once a year, any time in summer, straight after rain?). That fact that it has happily come up in mulch tells me that it is almost certainly a weed.

I would recommend against propagating a grass you can't accurately identify - you might end up spreading something really hard to get rid off, like serrated tussock!

(when I was young I carefully propagated some interesting grass I found on a friends farm - a year later I discovered it was mexican plume grass and spent 3 years getting rid of it.

could be kangaroo grass hard to say if you go to the dpi site that may help with your id, i find it frustrating to id grasses here there isn't much online help and the dpi site can lend itself to someone who is educated they don't tend to show clear colour pics sometime just diagramatics that the av' person needs a degree to understand.

so long as you don't have that rats tail grass that is a real bad scientific introduced weed much much worse than even the cane toad that they introduced.
