Within our coastal common garden site, survivorship of coastal\u2010sourced plants was higher than survivorship for inland\u2010sourced plants. An interaction between seed source and water treatment influenced survivorship of all species, such that the negative effect of decreased water was more pronounced for inland\u2010sourced plants.
