Welcome to The Green Leaf Nursery's Plant Nursery

 Florida’s Golden Coastal Carpet

Bring the beauty of the dunes to your doorstep with the Beach Sunflower. This salt-tolerant, butterfly-loving native is a sprawling groundcover that produces a constant display of miniature, 2-inch sunflowers with bright yellow petals and deep chocolate centers. It is the perfect solution for filling large, sunny spaces with a "wildflower meadow" feel.

• Salt & Sand Specialist: One of the few plants that truly thrives in coastal conditions, handling salt spray and poor, sandy soils with ease.
• Drought Warrior: Once established, it is incredibly drought-tolerant, making it a perfect choice for low-maintenance or "Xeriscape" landscapes.
• Pollinator Magnet: Provides a year-round source of nectar for honeybees, native bees, and a variety of butterflies.
• Natural Groundcover: Its sprawling habit helps suppress weeds and prevent soil erosion in sunny areas.

Light: Full Sun (The more sun, the more blooms!)

Water: Very Low; water to establish, then let nature take its course

Soil: Well-drained, sandy soil (highly adaptable)

Height: 1–2 feet tall

Spread: 3–4 feet per plant

Gardener's Tip: Beach Sunflower is a prolific self-seeder. If you have a large area to fill, start with a few plants and watch them naturally "fill in" the gaps over the seasons for a lush, golden landscape.

For a beautiful, hardy Florida landscape, pair Beach Sunflower with:

• Blue Porterweed (The purple-blue spikes look stunning rising out of the golden sunflower carpet)
• Gaillardia (For a "Sunset on the Beach" color palette of red, orange, and yellow)
• Muhly Grass (The pink "puff" of the grass in the fall creates a breathtaking contrast with the yellow sunflowers)
