Landscaping with Florida Native Plants

Attracting Birds, Butterflies and Beneficial Wildlife with Florida native plants.

Sea Lavender Keys

I have used Sea Lavender to provide a welcoming color and texture to the front landscape of several homes. Soil must be well drained and rich with organic matter.

This is part of a half mile of almost pure Sea Lavender growing on a berm or dune separating the ocean from a salt marsh near Big Pine Key. Other plants nearby include Porterweed, Chapman’s Cassia, Gumbo Limbo, Poisonwood, Bay Cedar, Blolly, Seagrape, numerous salt tolerant grasses and other herbaceous plants.
