Agrostis pallens, commonly known as Seashore Bentgrass, is an evergreen perennial grass native to coastal prairies, meadows, and open woodlands in the Western USA and Canada. It typically grows in bunches 10–70 cm (3.9–27.6 in) tall, with fine-textured, narrow leaves that form a dense turf. The grass produces delicate, airy flower panicles from April to May, which are not particularly showy but add a subtle texture to the landscape. Seashore Bentgrass is valued for its drought tolerance once established and its ability to thrive in coastal conditions.

Seashore Bentgrass is often used for low-maintenance lawns, erosion control, and restoration projects due to its adaptability to various soil types and its ability to withstand occasional foot traffic. It is also suitable for golf course roughs and as a ground cover in urban green spaces. While it prefers full sun or part shade, Seashore Bentgrass requires regular watering, especially in dry climates, and benefits from soils with medium to slow drainage. It is not known for significant disease or pest issues, but proper watering and aeration can prevent common grass problems.CC BY-SA 4.0
