Agrostis Stolonifera Subvar. Arenaria

Sand bentgrass, scientifically known as Agrostis stolonifera subvar. arenaria, is a resilient grass species commonly found in coastal and sandy environments. It thrives in well-drained soils and is often seen along shorelines and dunes where it plays a vital role in stabilizing sand dunes. This plant is adapted to harsh conditions, including salt spray and strong winds, making it an important part of coastal ecosystems. Its creeping growth habit allows it to spread quickly and form dense mats that prevent erosion. Despite its hardy nature, sand bentgrass is also valued for its use in turfgrass and landscaping due to its fine texture and durability.
