Atriplex littoralis, commonly known as grass-leaved orache, is an annual plant in the Amaranthaceae family. It is native to coastal regions and is often found in saline environments such as salt marshes and coastal dunes. The plant has a bushy appearance with narrow, grass-like leaves and small, inconspicuous flowers.
Atriplex littoralis thrives in temperate climates and prefers full sun exposure. It is tolerant of saline conditions and can withstand dry periods. Moderate temperatures and average humidity levels are ideal for its growth. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings.
