Armeria maritima Alba

Armeria maritima Alba, often referred to as thrift, stands as a compact perennial distinguished by its dense tufts of stiff, grass-like dark green leaves. In mid-spring, it adorns itself with white flowers that bloom in globular clusters, elevated on slender stalks surpassing the foliage. While its primary bloom season is spring, occasional flowering can be observed throughout the summer. This adaptable plant thrives in a variety of soil conditions, provided they are well-drained, and serves as an attractive hub for bees and butterflies. Its evergreen nature and resilience make it an ideal choice for paths, pots, borders, rockeries, and even seaside gardens as the name suggests. Grows to a height and spread of 15 to 25 cm.
