SUGGESTED ALTERNATIVE PLANTS
• Because most of these shrub species are evergreen, they provide year-round shade, erosion control and essential food and shelter for native wildlife.
• A few examples of Atlantic and Caribbean natives include sea grape (Coccoloba uvifera), sea ox-eye daisy (Borrichia frutescens), sea hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus), sea lavender (Tournefortia gnaphalodes) and sea-blight (Suaeda maritima).
