After a sandstorm, the soil in your outdoor plant box may be left dry, nutrient-depleted, and compacted. Choosing the right plants can help restore the soil and create a thriving garden. Here are some of the best resilient plants for post-sandstorm conditions:

1. Succulents (e.g., Aloe Vera, Sedum) – These drought-tolerant plants store water in their leaves, making them ideal for sandy, dry soil.

2. Lavender – Known for its hardiness, lavender thrives in poor soil and requires minimal water once established.

3. Russian Sage – This perennial is highly tolerant of sandy soils and produces beautiful purple blooms.

4. Yarrow – A tough plant that improves soil health by attracting beneficial insects and tolerating poor conditions.

5. Beach Grass – Specifically adapted to sandy environments, it helps stabilize the soil and prevent erosion.

To enhance soil recovery, mix in organic compost and mulch to retain moisture. With these plants, your outdoor plant box can bounce back stronger after a sandstorm.
