Flowers or plants that grow in sand?

I live in south jersey. My employnent is located on the beach. We would like to plant flowers on the beach at the entrance to our business. Any ideas on what might grow in the sand?

Reply:unless you do sea oats or something like that, which i bet is not the neat look for an entrance you are hoping for, you will have trouble. You can get plants to survive, but not thrive.





Do what I do...Try digging the hole two or three times larger than the root ball requires then filling in with a good potting soil. I use miracle grow potting soil as it does a good job retaining moisture.





This will provide the plants all of the nutrients and minerals it needs to thrive.
