Puccinellia macranthera is a tall perennial grass of the Poaceae family, native to a wide area from Siberia to northern China, and commonly grown as an ornamental or forage grass in temperate climates. The sources describe a related species, Puccinellia macra, found on coastal sands and sea cliffs in Quebec, so care details are mostly general.
Puccinellia macra is a perennial grass which grows on the coasts of south-eastern Canada. Its specific epithet "macra" means large, referring to its tall stature.
Puccinellia macra grows on sea cliffs and in coastal sands in eastern Gaspé County in Quebec.
