Armeria maritima Morning Star Deep Rose Details

Armeria maritima Morning Star Deep Rose, commonly known as Thrift, is a compact, low-growing plant which forms a dense, mounded tuft of grass-like, dark green leaves about 10 cm long. Tiny, dark pink flowers are borne in spring atop slender stems that rise above the foliage. In the wild, Thrift commonly grows in coastal areas where few other plants can grow well, hence the common name.

Armeria maritima Morning Star Deep Rose is ideal for rock and cottage gardens, coastal gardens, border plantings, or growing in a container. Mass planting will give the best displays.
