Plants for Dry Sandy Soils
Dry sandy soils are extremely well-drained and rarely experience standing water. If you garden in dry sandy soil, you're in luck! Natives that thrive in these conditions are numerous and beautiful, and are often low-growing, due to the reduced availability of both moisture and nutrients. There's no need for amendment or special irrigation with these plants – they like it lean. Many of the plants in this section thrive in other soils, as well.
