Marram Grass

Marram Grass, scientifically known as Ammophila arenaria, is a perennial plant native to the coastal regions of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. This hardy grass thrives in full sun and can tolerate both dry and moist conditions, making it well-suited for sandy soils. Known for its edible roots, which are often used in traditional dishes, marram grass plays an important role in stabilizing dune systems and preventing erosion along the coastlines of its native range. One distinctive feature is its ability to grow up to 1.2 meters tall, contributing significantly to coastal ecosystems while providing a valuable resource for local communities.
