Ammophila breviligulata is a PERENNIAL growing to 1.3 m (4ft 3in).It is hardy to zone (UK) 5. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by Wind.Suitable for: light (sandy) and medium (loamy) soils, prefers well-drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It prefers dry or moist soil and can tolerate drought. The plant can tolerate maritime exposure
Water deeply at planting, to a depth of 10 inches. Since the culms reside deep in the soil, they can hold moisture for long periods of time without evaporation. After emergence the plant requires supplemental watering only during extreme droughts of more than a month. American beachgrass cannot tolerate moist soil and will show signs of stress, such as wilting, with too much water.
Scatter 1/2 pound of a granular 12-12-12 fertilizer per 100 square feet over the beachgrass planting site the first spring after planting. Water over the fertilizer to settle it into the sand. Repeat this application again in early summer. This will help the grass establish itself. In following years, repeat the application in the spring and summer, but cut the amount of fertilizer in half.
The grass will survive best in sandy beaches or dunes, and can grow on coarse, well-draining soils inland.
