Sea rocket
Cakile maritima
Sea rocket is a hardy coastal annual or short-lived perennial that thrives in sandy, well-drained soils and full sun. It is well adapted to salt spray and wind, making it an excellent choice for seaside gardens or naturalised plantings. Minimal watering and fertilising are needed once established, as this plant is accustomed to nutrient-poor beach environments.
