Seashore plants of South Florida and the Caribbean

This comprehensive guide to identification and propagation of ninety-four seashore plants is meant both for naturalists and gardeners. For naturalists or anyone who wants to learn more about seashore ecology, this book provides the means of identifying plants along these tropical coasts. Since the plants in this book have all evolved to get by in harsh conditions with little fresh water, the gardener will find a cornucopia of ideas for the new trend to use low-water/low-maintenace plants in landscaping. They may need a little water and care until they get started, but then they will grow and remain vigorous with minimal care. Using this book, the landscaper or homeowner can select hardy salt-tolerant plants which will thrive on the salty shoreline and produce an attractive environment.
