Description
This specimen features dense clumps of European Marram Grass, a perennial grass commonly found on coastal sand dunes. Its long, narrow, grey-green leaves are adapted to harsh, sandy environments, and it displays characteristic pale, upright flower spikes. While not typically cultivated as a bonsai, its natural upright growth habit could be loosely interpreted.
