What this page adds
The Sea Campion has striking white flowers with petals deeply notched, emerging from a distinctive, bladder-like, pale green to pinkish-white calyx. Its leaves are a waxy, bluish-green, forming low cushions against harsh coastal winds.
It often thrives where freshwater meets the sea, in places most plants cannot survive!
Its scientific name, 'uniflora,' means 'single flower,' even though a plant can have many!
The plant’s deep roots can anchor it firmly, preventing it from being washed away by waves!
