European dune grass is a vigorous, fast-growing ornamental grass prized for its striking blue-grey foliage and strong sand-binding roots, making it ideal for coastal and erosion-prone sites. Plant in full sun to partial shade in sandy or poor soils; it tolerates salt spray and wind exceptionally well. Once established it is very self-sufficient, requiring little watering or feeding.
