The beach lilac, sea lavender or repulse, belongs to the family of plumbaginaceae. There are about 300-350 species worldwide. Most of the herbaceous species are perennial, rarely growing as a semi-shrub. They grow up to 1 m/1.1 yd tall. The flowers are found in white to lavender and yellow. They are often salt plants (halophytes) and often grow along coasts. They are used as ornamental, cut and dried flowers, rarely for food or medicinal purposes.
