When dealing with areas where salt may be a problem, whether in seaside gardens or along a roadside where winter salting is done, it is helpful to wash salt spray off plants and to flush the soil with fresh water. In seaside gardens this should be done right after any heavy storms; roadside salt should be flushed out vigorously in early spring. If the soil is sandy, be sure to add organic material when planting, and also use it regularly as
a mulch. If this advice is followed, these plants should prove to be reliable tenants in the garden.
