Seaberry Seeds - Fruit Plant for Home Gardens

Seaberry Seeds produce a perennial deciduous shrub commonly known in the United States as seaberry or sea buckthorn. Plants develop upright stems with silvery-green leaves and produce clusters of small orange berries. This plant thrives in full sun with well-drained sandy or loamy soil and is suitable for garden beds, hedges, windbreaks, or home landscapes in temperate climates. Seaberry is hardy, drought-tolerant, and adaptable to poor soils.
