Does Sea Thrift need full sun?
Full sun gives the tightest mound and best flowering. It can handle light shade, but bloom may be reduced.

How often should I water Armeria?
Water consistently during establishment. After that, water deeply and less often, letting the soil dry slightly between cycles.

Is Sea Thrift drought tolerant?
Yes, once established it’s notably drought tolerant, especially in well-drained soil.

Will it work near the coast?
Yes. Sea Thrift is a classic coastal plant and tolerates wind and salt exposure well.

Why is my plant declining in winter?
The most common cause is poor drainage or soil staying wet for long periods. Raised planting and fast-draining soil usually solve it.

Can I grow it in a container?
Yes, as long as the pot drains quickly and you avoid overwatering.

Does it attract pollinators?
Yes. The blooms are visited by bees and other beneficial insects.

Will it spread aggressively?
No. It forms a tidy clump rather than running aggressively through beds.
