Botanical Name:Atriplex cinerea

Coastal saltbush also known as grey saltbush, barilla or truganini, is found in most states in coastal regions. It grows between 1- 2m high and similar in width. The silver-grey lance-shaped to oblong leaves are up to 10cm long. Clusters of cream flowers appear in Spring-Autumn

Growing Conditions

Coastal saltbush thrives on a range of soil types ranging from front-line coastal dunes to coastal marshlands, with an alkaline pH. They prefer full sun to part shade. Water regularly when first planted to establish. Tolerates dry periods, salty soil, light frost and coastal winds.

Culinary Uses

Like its close relative Oldman saltbush the leaves can be used for their salty, herby flavour for stuffings, marinades or simply cooked by blanching or boiling like spinach. Toss them in stir-frys. The leaves can be dried and used as a salt substitute. If you find the leaves too salty, steep in water to remove salt and rinse thoroughly.

Other uses

Attracts native butterflies, caterpillar food plant. Fire retardant plant. Suitable fodder for sheep and cattle

Rated 5 out of 5. Coastal salt bush. This plant has tripled in size since I purchased it and repotted. Very happy with it and it tastes great, excited to harvest and use in salads once it's big enough Hayley Mugford , July 2023.

Rated 5 out of 5. An Excellent Australian Company. I found this company a pleasure to deal with. Their great website showed the exact plants I wanted at a reasonable cost. The sale went through safely, easily and quickly. They communicated courteously with me and sent the plants fast and cheaply by courier to my door. The plants arrived well packed, in good condition and are now thriving happily in my garden. The company even sent planting instructions and a video link. Excellent service, thanks, well done. Dr Angie Smith, Northern New South Wales. Angie Smith , February 2024.

Rated 5 out of 5. Highly recommended. It’s the third time I’ve ordered plants from Mudbrick Herb Cottage. The level of customer service, quality of plants and packaging have been second to none.I can highly recommend Mudbrick Herb Cottage (but you need to be quick as the plants seem to sell out quickly)Jen Jenny Barton , February 2022.
