Product Description: Sea Thrift Splendins
A Splendid Pink Evergreen
The Splendins \’Sea Thrift’, Armeria maritima, has wonderful, clustered, pink flowers that contrast well with its dark evergreen, tufted foliage. It will add a bit of whimsy to planters and to your cottage garden.
This plant is very floriferous in spring and early summer. \’Sea Thrift’ is an excellent plant for use in rock gardens or edging. Deadheading will prolong flowering and if needed, dividing should be done in early spring.
\’Sea Thrift’ Armeria is salt tolerant and is often grown along the coast line. It is best planted in sandy soils and does best in full sun. Plus, its grass-like foliage stays evergreen throughout the season.
Use this plant for edging, containers, border fronts, or massed in a small area to really draw the eye.
Splendins is a tough plant and it will tolerate dry soil, shallow rocky soil and even drought. It performs best in well drained, porous soils. Heavy wet soils tend to cause the crown to rot.
