Beach Plants

Choosing which trees, plants and flowers will thrive at the beach can be tricky. 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.
