Cordgrass, scientifically known as Spartina, is a hardy grass that thrives in coastal environments. It is commonly found in salt marshes and estuaries, making it an excellent choice for coastal gardens. Cordgrass has long, slender leaves and can grow in dense clumps, providing both visual interest and erosion control. It is highly tolerant of saltwater and can withstand flooding, making it an ideal choice for gardens near the shoreline. Cordgrass also provides habitat and food for various coastal wildlife, making it an ecologically valuable addition to any coastal garden.
