Herbaceous seepweed
Suaeda maritima
Herbaceous seepweed is a salt-tolerant coastal perennial naturally at home in tidal marshes, saltmarshes, and saline mudflats. It requires full sun and can handle both waterlogged and moderately dry saline soils, making it a specialist plant for coastal restoration and halophyte gardens. Little maintenance is needed once established, though it performs best when planted in its preferred saline habitat conditions.
