Description

Pink Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima) is a compact, evergreen perennial that forms neat, grassy mounds topped with cheerful pink, globe-shaped flower clusters. It shines in bright sun, thrives in well-drained soils, and is famously suited to coastal conditions thanks to strong tolerance for wind and salt spray.
