Spartina alterniflora is a spreading, rhizomatous perennial grass adapted to coastal and wetland situations. It has a deciduous foliage habit and establishes in wet, loamy soils on exposed, south‑facing sites. It requires full sun and flowers from July to September. Allow room for its rhizomes, which drive lateral spread and substrate binding.

Smooth Cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) is a spreading, rhizomatous wetland grass for exposed south‑facing sites in the UK, flowering July to September.

Sporobolus is a nearly cosmopolitan genus of plants in the grass family. The name Sporobolus means "seed-thrower", and is derived from Ancient Greek word σπόρος (spóros), meaning "seed", and the root of βάλλειν (bállein) "to throw", referring to the dispersion of seeds.
