Plants for Sandy Soil
Free-draining sandy soils warm quickly but dry out and leach nutrients fast. These plants are adapted to lean, sharply drained conditions. The collection currently lists 40 published plants from the GardenWizz encyclopedia. The entries are suited to sand soil. It helps UK gardeners compare practical choices for borders, beds, containers or difficult sites without changing the collection's underlying selection criteria. Each result links to a full encyclopedia entry with care, planting, pruning and seasonal guidance for British conditions. This introduction uses the same collection definition and live result count as the listing, so its scope stays aligned as approved plant records change.
