Would you like to view Kevin's availability for a garden assessment, or shall we look at his guide for coastal-hardy plants suited for the South Hams?
Kevin’s guide for coastal-hardy plants focuses on species that can withstand the salt-laden winds and sandy soils typical of the
Kevin’s Coastal-Hardy "Survivor" List
For gardens exposed to sea spray and high winds, Kevin recommends plants with tough, waxy, or silver foliage that naturally resists desiccation:
Fatsia japonica 'Spider’s Web': A top pick from his recent Longcombe Cross haul; its variegated leaves are tough enough for Devon winters and add a tropical feel to sheltered coastal spots.
Salvia 'Amistad': Known for its deep purple flowers, Kevin notes it can flower into November in the mild South Hams climate, provided it has some wind protection.
Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima): A native classic that thrives in "shifting ground" and salty air.
