Distichlis spicata, commonly known as Saltgrass, is a hardy, low-growing perennial grass native to saline and alkaline habitats across North and South America. This rhizomatous grass forms dense mats of stiff, narrow green leaves, making it ideal for erosion control in challenging environments. Saltgrass thrives in coastal marshes, salt flats, and arid regions, tolerating both drought and salt spray. It grows to about 6–12 inches tall, creating a lush, drought-resistant groundcover.
