The Spartina pectinata is a large grass that takes root vigorously. In the past, it was used to build thatched roofs. Nowadays it is along the crumbly banks that it renders precious services by retaining the soil.

Sowing method : Mix seeds with an equal amount of damp sand or vermiculite. Place the mixture in a sealed plastic bag. Store the bag in a refrigerator or cool storage room for 30 to 90 days. Sow seeds when there is no risk of ground frost. Or plant the seeds outdoors during the fall. Germination will occur the following spring or later on.
