Question: Can you suggest some plants to use for a ground cover near the seashore?
Answer: Canby pachistima (Pachistima canbyi), a hardy, small-leaved evergreen shrub, will thrive in sun or shade in sandy situations. The creeping evergreen vine, bearberry (Arctostaphyllos uva-ursi), is also excellent for sandy soils in hot, sunny locations. Other ground covers for the seashore are the low growing perennial, silver dusty miller (Artemisia stelleriana), the creeping juniper (Juniperus horizontalis) and its varieties, and rock spray cotoneaster (Cotoneaster horizontalis).
