Common saltmarsh grass is a hardy, salt-tolerant coastal grass best suited to tidal and estuarine restoration projects rather than home gardens. It requires full sun and tolerates periodic flooding with brackish or salt water, needing virtually no supplemental care once established. This plant is primarily of interest to coastal ecologists and habitat restoration specialists.
