Description

American Beachgrass (Ammophila breviligulata) is a perennial grass native to Atlantic coastal dunes. It features narrow, blue-green foliage and produces tall, feathery flower spikes in late summer. Well-adapted to sandy soils, it provides excellent erosion control and adds natural beauty to coastal landscapes.

Suggested Uses

Ideal for dune stabilization, shoreline planting, native plant gardens, and naturalized landscapes. Its drought tolerance and low maintenance make it suitable for coastal and xeriscape gardens.
