common arrowgrass

Triglochin maritima

Common arrowgrass is a special plant that grows in wet areas like marshes and along coastlines. It has long, thin leaves and small green flowers that can be hard to see.

Lebensraum: Wetlands

Aussehen

The common arrowgrass has stiff, narrow, grass-like leaves growing in clumps. Its tiny, greenish-yellow to purplish flowers appear on a tall, slender stalk that rises above the foliage. It stands out in wetlands due to its unique, inconspicuous flower spike.
