Match the plant to the exposure
Beachfront, transition, and inland sites do not need the same plants. Salt-tolerant selections work best when the toughest species face the spray and more sensitive plants sit behind protection.

Salt Tolerant Questions
What does salt tolerant mean for coastal gardens?+
Salt-tolerant plants handle some salt spray, sandy soil, wind, or coastal exposure better than sensitive landscape plants.
Do salt-tolerant plants work directly on the beach?+
Beachfront sites need the toughest high-salt plants; inland coastal yards can often use moderate salt-tolerant selections.
Should I still water salt-tolerant plants after planting?+
Yes. Salt tolerance does not replace establishment watering, especially during hot, windy, or dry weeks after planting.
How do I choose salt-tolerant plants for my exposure?+
Match the plant to how much salt it actually faces. Front-line beach beds need high-salt plants, while inland coastal yards can use moderate ones. We can help you match by site.
When is the best time to plant in a coastal yard?+
Fall and winter let roots establish before summer heat and storms, though container plants can go in year round with steady establishment water.
