Our Plants

Dune plants are available in a variety of sizes ranging from economically priced plugs to one gallon pots.  Please call for current prices and availability.

 

Sea Oats (Uniola paniculata)

Sea oats are the backbone of our coastal dunes.  These warm-season, perennial grasses gradually create an extensive root system and colonize the dune via underground rhizomes.  Sea oats provide the best long term protection against erosion and add natural beauty to our coastal ecosystems.

Three plugs (288 cell size) are pictured to the right.  This is our most popular sea oat size.  They are economical and ready for transplant directly onto the dune.

 

 

  Bitter Panicum (Panicum amarum)

Bitter panicum is another warm-season, perennial grass species that effectively traps sand and stabilizes the dune.  Easily spotted in our native dune systems,  it is characterized by stout stems and wide, blue-green leaves.  Once established, bitter panicum readily spreads by underground rhizomes. 

A single plug (72 cell size) is pictured.  This is our smallest and most popular bitter panicum size.

 

Seashore Elder (Iva imbricata)

Seashore elder is the only broadleaf (nongrass) species recommended for dune stabilization.  This warm-season perennial has succulent leaves, woody stems, and a shrub-like growth habit.

A single plug (72 cell size) is pictured.  This is our smallest and most popular sea shore elder size.

 

 
Back Dune Species

Diversity is important in any ecosystem; therefore, backdune species such as saltmeadow cordgrass (Spartina patens) and gaillardia (Gaillardia pulchella) are also available.   Please keep checking our website as we plan to diversify our availability as our company grows.  And of course, let us know what plants you would like to see us produce.
