Struggling to find plants that can survive a seaside garden?
Salt, strong winds, poor soil… it’s not the easiest environment—but the right plants make all the difference.
One of our top recommendations? Elaeagnus × ebbingei (Oleaster)
✔️ Thrives in salty sea air
✔️ Evergreen – keeps your garden looking good all year
✔️ Fast-growing and great for privacy
✔️ Tough enough for wind and coastal conditions
✔️ Low maintenance once established
It’s perfect for hedging, screening, or adding structure to your garden—especially on the coast.
👉 Want to add some colour?
Oleaster works brilliantly as a backdrop for flowering plants like lavender, escallonia, or coastal perennials—giving you that mix of structure and seasonal colour.
And when paired with clean edging and proper groundwork, it creates a garden that not only looks great… but lasts 👍
