Welcome to TN Nursery YouTube channel. Today, let's talk about our smooth cord grass. Smooth cord grass, Spartina alterniflora, is commonly known as salt marsh cord grass or saltwater cord grass. These are native plants to the United States and belong to the family of Poaceae. They are found in salt and brackish tidal marshes along the shores of Chesapeake Bay. These plant species are deciduous, rigid, tall, and erect. The size range of this plant is from 7 to 10 feet at the age of maturity. The different sizes of these plants also depend on their location and atmosphere. They have a strongly interconnected root system which helps prevent the erosion of shorelines.
