Sea Oats (Uniola paniculata) is a hardy, long-lived perennial grass that brings both beauty and resilience to landscapes. Reaching heights of 4–6 feet and spreading extensively, this grass features elegant yellow flowers and brown fruit, adding subtle charm to sandy environments. It thrives in full sun with well-drained sandy soil and neutral pH, making it ideal for stabilizing dunes and other sunny areas.
Renowned for its hurricane resistance, Sea Oats spreads aggressively through rhizomes, forming dense, durable clumps that provide ecological stability. Its seeds serve as a vital food source for birds and other wildlife, enhancing biodiversity wherever it’s planted. Perfect for conservation projects and seaside gardens, this grass is a powerful and attractive choice for resilient landscaping.
