Sea-sandwort
Honckenya peploides
Sea-sandwort is a coastal creeping perennial naturally adapted to sandy, well-drained soils along shorelines and dunes, making it an excellent groundcover for seaside gardens. It tolerates salt spray and sandy conditions well but prefers some moisture and partial sun. Plant it in gritty, low-nutrient soil and avoid heavy clay or overly rich growing media.
