Saltmarsh sandspurry
Spergularia marina
Saltmarsh sandspurry is a specialist coastal plant adapted to saline or brackish soils and is best suited for restoration or specialist native garden projects. It requires full sun to partial shade and consistently moist, salty soil conditions that are very difficult to replicate in a standard garden setting. This plant is rarely sold commercially and is primarily of interest to ecologists and native habitat restoration enthusiasts.
