Coarse grass laid down and shooting up (6)
I believe the answer is:
marram
If this is the answer I cannot explain how the clue works.
(Other definitions for marram that I've seen before include "Grass of the seaside" , "Coarse grass on sandy beaches" , "Sea grass" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
