24 Different Plants That Are Shore Things

24 Different Plants That Are Shore Things

Despite milder winters, selecting plants for a coastal garden can be difficult. These exposed sites often bear the full brunt of weather, a near constant bath of fine mist of salt-laden water. They have soil that's usually sandy, free draining, and may have a high pH. No wonder plants struggle! Here are 25 choice plants that not only survive, but flourish in these challenging conditions. We've grouped them by type to make it easier to find what you're looking for. This is but a small selection of what you'll find at monrovia.com. (Note that some plants can tolerate direct ocean spray while others need some protection. Consult your local garden center for more information.)

I would like to order trees from your website, but I am finding that it is very difficult because your website is very confusing. It would be nice if you could simplify the process.
