European alkali grass
Puccinellia distans
European alkali grass is a hardy, salt-tolerant perennial grass well suited to disturbed sites, roadsides, and saline or alkaline soils where few other plants survive. It requires minimal care and is drought-resilient once established, making it a practical choice for erosion control or difficult landscapes. Plant in full sun to partial shade and water sparingly after the establishment period.
