Chloropyron maritimum subsp. palustre
Salt marsh owl's-clover is a hemiparasitic annual of coastal and estuarine wetlands that requires consistently moist, brackish or saline soils to thrive. It grows best in open, partially shaded conditions alongside host grasses or pickleweed. This is a highly specialized native plant best suited to restoration projects rather than typical home gardens.
