Sandy Soils

Description:

Sandy soils are prone to erosion and drought and it is often difficult to establish plants in these types of soils.

To ensure a good survival rate for your plantings, it is important that you select plants appropriate for sandy soils. The list of appropriate plants may be more limited, but there are plenty of species available that grow well in sandy soil.
