Properties and uses:
Ammophila arenaria, also known as Marram Grass or European Beachgrass, is a hardy, perennial grass, with an extremely developed root system. It is easily recognizable with its clumps of erect stems.
It is mainly used to stabilise sand dunes and sandy soils along the coasts thanks to an exceptional root system. The Marram Grass can also be planted in gardens with a ‘beach’ or ‘natural’ style, in sunny, well-drained areas.
Be aware that it may be invasive: in small gardens, it is better to plant it in big pots with an open bottom and set up an anti-rhizome barrier.
Ecological feature: Ammophila arenaria has an important part in protecting the coasts from erosion. It holds the sand transported by the wind, thus forming and stabilising the dunes. It is a pioneer species, and can settle in extreme environments with wind, ocean spray and draught. -
