Beach Plum naturally grows in sandy soils but adapts well to gardens with good drainage. Plants are extremely drought tolerant after establishment and require very little maintenance. Fruit production is improved by planting multiple shrubs for cross-pollination.
Planting or Germination Instructions Beach Plum seeds require cold stratification before germination. Remove any remaining fruit pulp. Mix seeds with slightly moist peat moss, vermiculite, or sand. Refrigerate for 90–120 days at approximately 34–40°F. Sow outdoors in spring about ½ inch deep. Germination may occur the first spring, although some seeds naturally wait until a second season. Patience is normal with native shrubs.
Seeds are shipped in labeled resealable bags with planting instructions.
