Armeria White
Armeria White is a neat, compact perennial offering pure white, globe-shaped flowers held above low clumps of fine, evergreen foliage. Flowering from early spring into early summer, it adds a crisp, clean touch to borders, rockeries, and edging. Well-suited to coastal, alpine, and cottage gardens, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants 20–25cm apart to encourage tidy, mounded growth.
Mature Size: Grows to approximately 20cm high and 25cm wide.
Trimming: Trim back spent flower stems to encourage repeat flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. In late autumn or early spring, remove any dead or damaged foliage to keep the clump neat.
Deadheading: Regularly remove faded flower heads to prolong the flowering season and support a tidy, compact form.
Fertilising: Armeria prefers lean soils, so fertilising is usually unnecessary. If growth appears weak, apply a light dose of low-nitrogen fertiliser in early spring.
Watering: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, Armeria is drought-tolerant and prefers well-drained soil. Avoid overwatering, especially in winter.
Pest Control: Generally pest-free, though occasional aphids may appear. Treat with insecticidal soap if needed.
Disease Management: Can be susceptible to crown rot in poorly drained soils. Ensure excellent drainage and avoid waterlogged conditions. Remove any rotting foliage promptly to prevent spread.
