Armeria maritima Sea Pink Details

Armeria maritima Sea Pink, commonly known as Sea Thrift, is a compact, low-growing plant which forms a dense, mounded tuft of grass-like, dark green leaves about 10 cm long. Clusters of 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. It typically grows to 20 cm tall and the same wide, growing best in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained soil. It is tolerant of light frost, coastal environments, and periods of dry. Armeria maritima Sea Pink is ideal for rock and cottage gardens, coastal gardens, border plantings, maintaining in a container, or mass planting on a bank or the like.
