What to know about Gardening in Limassol
- 1
Near the sea, choose salt-tolerant plants such as pittosporum, oleander, rosemary and lantana. Many ornamental plants sold elsewhere scorch in salty wind.
- 2
Terraces and planters dry out fast in summer. A simple drip line on a timer saves daily watering and is a common small job for gardeners.
- 3
Hillside plots often have retaining walls and steps. Mention slopes so the gardener can plan time and equipment.
About Limassol. Humid summers by the sea and salty air that is hard on metal, outdoor units and fixtures. A mix of new seafront towers with building management, older 1980s–90s apartment blocks and detached houses inland.
