Landscaping near Portland Castle
Landscaping near Portland Castle
A wide band of landscaping separates flats under construction from public space near Portland Marina. This is tough exotic planting to withstand a wide range of conditions. In what appears to be local beach shingle are pines (possibly young Pinus radiata or Monterey Pine); big clumps of a grass, perhaps a species of Stipa; and a sprawling purple-flowered Salvia (sage) amongst other things.
