Also called Species code: Pr, Surfgrass, Serrulated Surfgrass, Serrulate Surf Grass
Toothed surfgrass is a marine seagrass-like plant that grows on wave-exposed rocky shores in the intertidal zone, not a garden grass. It is only grown in aquariums or coastal restoration, and succeeds only with strong, constant seawater flow.
