Alkali Bulrush

Overview

Alkali Bulrush (Bolboschoenus maritimus subsp. paludosus) is a plant species native to wetland margins and saline areas. It has deep-rooted, slender stems and can reach heights of up to 6 feet. The grassy foliage is dark green and feathery, with a brownish seed head in spring and summer. The plant is very tolerant of high salinity levels and is often seen around shorelines, ponds and marshes. It is a common sight along saltwater coasts and is great for erosion control as its roots hold soil firmly in place. Alkali Bulrush provides valuable habitat for fish, waterfowl, and amphibians.
