In just a few days I'm going to be digging up St Augustine and planting a virgin bed--around 2 sides of a salt-water pool. Some plants will be right up to the edge of the water, while others will be as far as 6 - 8 feet out. I'm doing bushes and flowers. Can you help me (I couldn't see where this would fit elsewhere!) with plants that will do poorly if splashed with salt water? (The water isn't salty like the ocean...but salt-based nevertheless.) I'm old and don't splash much any more but have grand babies who will soon be in the pool! Thanks!!
