Description

Splendens Sea Thrift is a rugged, evergreen perennial that forms a neat, grass-like clump topped with bright rose-pink “pompom” flowers in late spring and early summer, with possible repeat bloom when spent flowers are trimmed. Built for sun, wind, and excellent drainage, it’s a standout edging plant for rock gardens, gravel gardens, and coastal landscapes.

Faqs

Is Splendens Sea Thrift deer resistant?
It’s commonly considered deer resistant once established, but no plant is fully deer proof.

Does it bloom more than once?
The main flush is late spring to early summer. Deadheading can encourage sporadic rebloom.

Can I grow it in a pot?
Yes. Use a gritty, fast-draining mix and a pot with strong drainage holes.

Does it work near the ocean?
Yes. It’s a great choice for coastal exposure, wind, and salt spray.

What’s the biggest reason Sea Thrift fails?
Poor drainage. Avoid soggy soil and heavy, water-holding mixes.
