Seasonal Progression
Gardeners dealing with salt from the ocean or from a snowplow know that salt tolerant plants are essential for a healthy looking garden. We’ve built this EZ Scape™ for just these situations. Each plant was chosen for its ability to thrive with its fellows, all performing well with moderate moisture and in a range of lighting situations. So long as this garden receives 4 hours of direct sunlight, it will grow well. Enjoy lush foliage all year round, no matter the salty conditions.
