Carolina sea-lavender is a salt-tolerant coastal perennial that produces airy sprays of tiny lavender-pink flowers excellent for both fresh and dried arrangements. Plant it in full sun to partial shade in well-drained, sandy, or saline soil and water moderately, as it naturally thrives in challenging coastal conditions. It is an excellent choice for seaside gardens, rain gardens, or any site with occasional flooding or salt spray.
