Eel grass is a warm season plant that begins growth in late spring near 70F, flourishes in summer and matures in late summer (Aug upper midwest). Depending on the variety, the ribbon leaves are comparatively durable and can remain mostly vertical most if not all winter. By spring the beds are more compact, leaves are usually drooping, dead, tan, or slight-green and in the process of decomposing.
