Beach Elder
Iva imbricata
Beach Elder is a tough, native coastal shrub known for its silvery-gray to green foliage and naturally spreading, low-growing habit. Thriving in full sun and sandy, well-drained soils, it offers exceptional tolerance to salt spray, wind, heat, and drought. With its strong erosion-control ability and natural seaside appearance, Beach Elder is ideal for dune restoration, coastal landscapes, and Florida-friendly plantings requiring a resilient, low-maintenance native groundcover or shrub.
