Suriana maritima
Bay Cedar is a slower growing, native, evergreen coastal shrub that is naturally found on sand dunes and beaches. This hurricane resistant shrub can weather storm surges, and is salt spray and drought tolerant! The Bay Cedar is excellent for erosion control of dunes and beaches. Small yellow flowers bloom year round and attract pollinators, and it is a host plant for certain hairstreak butterflies.
