More Details
This excelled in our spring container trial in 2019 - perky, cheerful, dense with flowers and honeybees, from late spring until summer, just like its wild counterpart, Sea Thrift. I absolutely loved it in a window box and shallow terracotta tray as a table centre on our outside eating table.

| Care Tips | Armeria are very undemanding and pest free. As long as you get the planting position right on don’t over water they'll be trouble-free. Cut back after flowering and leave to flower again the following spring. |
