Description
Sea Thrift Pink (Armeria maritima) is a charming, evergreen perennial that forms neat, grassy mounds topped with cheerful globe-shaped clusters of soft pink flowers. Blooming from spring into early summer, this compact plant is perfect for adding long-lasting colour to rock gardens, borders, pathways, containers, and coastal landscapes.
Naturally adapted to seaside conditions, Sea Thrift is exceptionally hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and thrives in poor, well-drained soils. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
