Salt Marsh Grass (Spartina patens)
Live Coastal Restoration Plants – Hand-Collected from Maine’s Native Salt Marshes
Spartina patens, commonly known as Salt Marsh Grass or Salt Meadow Cordgrass, is a native coastal species vital to shoreline stability and wetland ecology. Found in the high marsh zones along Maine’s coastal shorelines, this hardy perennial thrives in brackish, salt-affected soils where few other plants can survive. Its deep green, fine-textured foliage forms dense mats that trap sediment, buffer storm surges, and reduce coastal erosion.
This species is ideal for marsh restoration, dune stabilization, green infrastructure projects, and habitat restoration. Spartina patens also provides critical cover and nesting habitat for marsh birds, shellfish, and invertebrates. Each plant is sustainably hand-dug and shipped ready to plant, ensuring minimal ecological disruption and maximum transplant success.
