Mediterranean beard grass is a hardy coastal grass that tolerates salt spray and poor soils exceptionally well. Provide full sun and moderate water during establishment, then it becomes quite self-sufficient. This grass works well in naturalized areas and coastal gardens where other plants struggle.
