    Hi, I live in a Marina with only a patio and balcony as a garden, can anyone suggest flowering plants suitable for container pots which will survive in a salty atmosphere ? Thanks

    If you go to the Crocus website, on the left there's a place to click on called right plants for the right place and it will take you to the next page where it has a box with difficult sites and costal plants. You should be able to get some ideas from there! Hope this helps!

    Search for "Halophytes" or salt tolerant plants.
