Living by the sea can prove to be both a delight and a challenge if you’re a gardener. The salty sea air can create havoc with your plants, unless you’re growing the right ones. So, to make sure your plants look their best and thrive, it’s essential that you know what you’re doing and which plants are the best and most suited to the sea conditions. Plants
Some of the plants that are suited to live by the sea are as follows: Hebe, Tamarix, Eleagnus, Cotoneaster, and hydrangea. And tougher plants which can be used for hedges include Griselinia and Escalonia. These plants are excellent for slowing down the severe winds and preventing them from destroying the plants within your garden.
Soil
Healthy soil conditions are another vital key to a thriving seaside garden. To ensure your soil is in tip-top shape, always remember to add plenty of compost or farmyard manure. This helps the sandy soil to preserve its minerals and vitamins at the roots. Rosemary, Lavender, Sage and Agaves are among the many plants worth considering for your garden, as they are perfect for the dry weather conditions.
