The Basics of Growing Cord Grass – Everything You Need to Know

Grow cordgrass (Spartina) to add coastal flair to your garden! These salt-tolerant grasses thrive in full sun, stabilize shorelines, filter pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat

Popular Cordgrass Species

Saltmarsh Cord Grass

Saltmarsh cordgrass, found along the Atlantic coast, thrives in intertidal wetlands like salt marshes, especially where rivers meet the sea.

Prairie Cord Grass

Spartina pectinata, widely distributed in North America, thrives in ponds or wet gardens. It loves full sun to part shade and fertile, moist loams.

Gulf Cord Grass

Gulf cordgrass, native to the Gulf of Mexico from Texas to Florida, grows up to 80 inches high. It thrives in moist to wet areas and blooms in spring and summer.

Sand Cordgrass

Sand cordgrass, a tall perennial native to Florida, thrives in full sun and sandy soils, ideal for landscapes near beaches, ponds, and wetlands.

Creating Ideal Growing Conditions

Climate and Humidity

Cord grass thrives in coastal areas with moist winds. Some varieties adapt to drier inland environments but still prefer wet conditions.

Sun Exposure

Cord grass adapts to both water's edge and dry, sandy areas. It thrives in full sun, needing 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.

Cord Grass Watering Needs

Cord grass prefers consistently moist soil but becomes drought-tolerant once established. Adjust watering based on species and weather conditions.
