Summer Flowers and the Natural Beauty of Cannon Beach

Abundantly blooming summer flowers and evergreen foliage contribute to the natural beauty of Cannon Beach.

Sprinkled around the blue ocean and silver sands, you’ll see cheery pops of reds, yellows, oranges, purples, and pinks. And, those colors are surrounded by luscious greenery and grasses.

Colorful shrubs thrive in the yards around weather-worn cottages. Flowering hedges line sidewalks and meandering pathways. Alluring storefronts become even more inviting, highlighted with hanging baskets and rows of brightly blooming daisies and hydrangeas.

Recommended Landscape Materials 

Cannon Beaches’ landscape environment is valued. To maintain its special look, the City of Cannon Beach has developed a  recommended planting guide.  Residents and businesses are encouraged to follow the planning guide.

The planting guide identifies perennials, shrubs, vines, grasses, deciduous trees, and evergreens.  These are known as dependable growers in this distinct marine area.  Property owners are also urged to integrate natural, organic plantings into landscape designs.By doing so, the magical backdrop contributes to the town’s picturesque charm.

Wind, Salt-Air, and Proximity to the Ocean

The straightforward recommendations take into consideration the effects of the wind, salt air, and proximity to the ocean.  Growing conditions can change due to changes in micro-climates. Plantings that may be successful in one spot might struggle to survive just a few blocks away.

Planting correctly helps Cannon Beach maintain its natural beauty. In other words, when you plant it right from the start, plants thrive. No special green thumb is required.

The beautiful natural environment of Cannon Beach makes this special town so inviting.
