We have a 2 acre south facing site in W. Mayo, very windy, 1/2 mile from the sea. Most of the site is peaty loam, very fertile although somewhat acid & wet in the lower part; also sandy soil on the hill (poor fertility, very stony). Up to now, we have focused on veg & fruit. We would like to add all-year round colour, esp. perennial shrubs & trees, yellow, blue, red/pink, etc. Maybe too windy for camelias. Any suggestions (top 10, say) ?

Go to a seaside nursery such as Cluain na dTor Nursery in Donegal.
See what is growing there and in your own local area and similar areas.
Visit the nurseries in each of the seasons and buy from the seasonal selection, choosing the plants you like.
