Armeria Ballerina White
Notify MeArmeria pseudarmeria Ballerina White is an elegant and compact perennial with pristine white flower clusters on slender stems. These flowers rise above its neat, grass-like foliage, creating a stunning contrast. Flowering from late spring through summer, it provides a fresh and clean aesthetic. This hardy plant is both heat and drought-tolerant, making it a versatile and reliable addition to various garden settings.
Ballerina White is an excellent choice for borders, rockeries, and containers. It’s equally suited to formal gardens, coastal plantings, and cottage-style settings, offering versatility in design. Use it to soften pathways, edge garden beds, or add texture to gravel gardens. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating poorer, sandy soils common in coastal or xeriscaped gardens. It requires minimal maintenance and performs best with moderate watering until established, though it withstands occasional dry spells. Avoid waterlogged conditions to maintain its vigour.
Place plants 20–25 cm apart. When mature, Ballerina White forms a compact, evergreen mound 20–30 cm in height and width.
Trimming: Cut back spent foliage in late winter or early spring to maintain a neat and compact shape.
Deadheading: Remove faded flower stems regularly to encourage prolonged flowering and prevent self-seeding.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, low-nitrogen fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and flowering. Over-fertilising should be avoided to prevent weak, leggy growth.
Watering: Water deeply during establishment and sparingly thereafter, as this plant thrives in well-drained soil and tolerates dry conditions once established.
Pest Control: Rarely affected by pests, but inspect occasionally for aphids. Treat any infestations with insecticidal soap or a strong spray of water.
Disease Management: Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Remove any affected leaves to maintain plant health and ensure good air circulation.
This charming perennial produces clusters of crisp white flowers, making it an ideal choice for borders, rock gardens, or containers.
