Beach Plants
Choosing which trees, plants and flowers will thrive at the beach can be tricky. The National Garden Club recommends planting for wildlife and planting native species and edibles.
Below is a list of recommended (mostly native) plants for coastal North Carolina from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. We've planted many of these plants in Harbor Way Gardens at the entrance to Wrightsville Beach - come visit us anytime.
