Spergularia Diandra Var. Microspermoides

Common beach grass, scientifically known as Spergularia diandra var. microspermoides, is a hardy plant that thrives in coastal environments. It plays a vital role in stabilizing sand dunes and preventing erosion along shorelines. This low-growing perennial is adapted to withstand harsh conditions like salt spray, strong winds, and shifting sands. Its dense root system helps bind the soil, making it essential for maintaining coastal ecosystems. Despite its tough environment, Common beach grass supports various insects and birds, contributing to biodiversity in maritime regions.
