Salt grass is a spreading perennial grass from horizontal stems (rhizomes and stolons) that produce roots and new plants along their length, much like Bermuda grass; one plant can give rise to a dense stand. Salt grass is generally low growing, less than 20 inches (50 cm) in height.
Saltgrass is a native perennial from 15” to 35” in height. It forms dense mats with rhizomes and sometimes stolons. It is a dioecious species with male and female reproductive parts on separate plants.
