Plant a Beach
Summer is here and did someone say the beach!!??
Here at Plantas nativa if you do not find us at work we are usually at the beach. Crazy surfers. Me, I love walking the beach and looking at all those full sun drought tolerant plants. Dunegrass, beach strawberry, silverweed, coastal wormwood, sea thrift, lupine, gumweed, sedums, paintbrush, roses, pines and madrone to name a few. Wait? Did you say you have a super sunny dry area around your house? Why not use some of these wonderful sun lovers. You can create your own personal beach scene at home. Come in and check these plants out for yourself.
