Pot plants suited to shade+salty air?

Posted 257 days ago

Hi,
I'm going to be moving to a unit in a coastal spot in Sydney where the air will may carry some salty mist from the sea, plus is never in full sun.

Are there any plants (preferably natives) that could be recommended for growing in pots?

Thanks,
Bm

check out nurseries for silver leaf plants. Most of them are salt tolerant. Westringia is a native shrub that should fit the bill as well.

Another suggestion is to take a drive around your new area and note what is growing well under the same conditions that your plants will have.
