What are the differences between seagrass and mountain grass rugs?
Seagrass is grown in saltwater marshes or cultivated in fields that have been flooded with saltwater. The long grass is harvested and dried so it can be woven into a variety of attractive weave patterns. Seagrass comes in a variety of green hues, from light sage to olive. Seagrass rugs usually have a distinctive hay-like smell at first, which lessens over time. Mountain grass grows in the highland fields of China. Like seagrass, mountain grass is naturally stain resistant and repels liquids. Rugs made from mountain grass are not as green in color and they have a waxy wood-like appearance. Colors range from light golden shades to warmer browns. Below are seagrass and mountain grass rugs in a basket weave style.
