Sand Spinifex Grass
If you travel along the eastern coast of Australia you will find our sand dunes covered with Sand Spinifex Grass. It's a naturally occuring stabilising plant, is salt tolerant and has the ability to grow through accumulations of wind-blown sand. It is usually the dominant species colonising the seaward slope of our frontal dunes.
The spiny spherical head from the female plant is about 15-25cm in diameter and straw-coloured when mature.
The time of the running grass is in late winter. Depending on wind speed and direction they perform a spectacular race towards the sea.
