SALT TOLERANT
HEIGHT GUIDE
HEIGHT GUIDE - (continued)
Exposure to salts, either in coastal environments
or along roadsides, can stunt growth and even
kill plants. Many grasses can tolerate exposure
to salts, especially species native to coastal areas.
Based on several sources, the grasses and
sedges below are reported to be salt tolerant.
Other grasses and sedges may do well, too, but
these are ones that have been identified as more
tolerant.
Because conditions vary widely, there are no
guarantees. We advise trying a test planting
first to determine whether these or other plants
will do well in the conditions you have.
