Zostera capricorni
Zostera capricorni
Zostera capricorni is a marine seagrass native to coastal estuaries and shallow bays of eastern Australia and New Zealand, making it entirely unsuitable for typical home or garden cultivation. It requires permanent saltwater submersion and is best appreciated in its natural habitat or in specialist marine aquarium systems. This plant is ecologically significant as critical habitat for fish and dugongs, but is not a viable nursery plant for home gardeners.
