Features of Coastal Plants

Coastal plants are adapted to this harsh coastal environment in a variety of ways, but all are adapted to wind pruning, surviving some very strong winds. This should also be a consideration when growing in the home garden as some of the coastal species, if grown in a sheltered environment, will grow into much taller plants. A classic example is the Peppermint which on the face of the foredunes will be about 1m tall but in the lee of the dune, away from the wind, will grow into a tree up to 8m tall.

Other adaptations shown by these plants include:

Hairy or scaly leaves. The hairs on the leaf surface reduce water loss through evaporation by retaining a humid environment on the leaf surface as some of the water vapour is trapped by the hairs. Some of the hairy leaved plants are white due to the dense cover of hairs e.g. the Native Rosemary, Olearia axillaris.
