This plant list has been compiled by Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) staff to inform homeowners and professionals on attractive native plants expected to grow well on Florida dunes and to be available for sale in Florida nurseries. Beach dune plants are adapted to harsh environments, yet often require a moderate level of protection from drought, salt spray, wind, sunburn and being eaten before the newly planted plants “harden off” and start growing on their own.
