Thriving in salt
The saltmarsh rush grows in salt water among other plants who are also adapted to salt. Perhaps it doesn't actually like salt, but it can tolerate the salt spray from the ocean much better than other species.
Saltmarsh rush is common in the archipelago. It blooms from July to August.
