Sea Thrift
Armeria maritima
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Plumbaginaceae
Plant Description: Neat evergreen tufts of green grass-like foliage grow on woody stems that spread along the ground, forming a soft carpet. In spring, a profusion of 1" wide spherical pink flower heads create a "sea" of pink. Deadheading will extend flowering time. Makes a great groundcover for sunny open areas, but can't handle very much foot traffic.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Evergreen
Plant Care: Perennial - Evergreen (soft-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. To avoid winter stress, wait until spring to identify what portions of the plant are still alive and then remove the rest.
