Beach Grass is vital habitat for the endangered Piping Plover (federal Species at Risk Act, 2003) along with other birds such as Short-eared owls and various gulls. The seeds feed Snow Buntings, and various insects feed on the blades.
Warm Season Grasses: These grasses are much slower starting in the spring. They do not push new growth until temperatures warm in early to midsummer. They flower later in the summer or fall with most blooms remaining into the winter. Most warm season grasses tolerate heat, humidity and drought; some even thrive in these conditions. Conversely, extra care should be taken when planting in early spring or late fall.
