Sand Cordgrass (Spartina bakeri) is a long-lived perennial, clump-forming grass that adds structure and versatility to landscapes. Reaching a height of 3–4 feet, this striking grass thrives in full sun and prefers consistently moist, acidic sandy soil. Its dense, upright growth makes it an excellent choice as a tall groundcover or a bold border plant.
This adaptable grass propagates easily through seeds or division of clumps, making it a reliable addition to gardens that emphasize low-maintenance and ecological value. Whether used to enhance garden edges or naturalized settings, Sand Cordgrass is a standout for its resilience and beauty.
