Plants For Sandy Soil

Sandy soils tend to drain very quickly, so are ideal for supporting Mediterranean-style or drought-tolerant plants, which are happiest in dry conditions. These soils are usually low in nutrients, so digging in lots of composted organic matter will not only bump these up, but will also help it retain water.
