Well adapted to hot, dry conditions, Thrift is perfect for edging the front of hot sunny borders, rock gardens or patio containers, where the flowers will attract pollinating insects.

Grow Sea Thrift on and well drained soil in full sun. Armeria plants cope well with coastal conditions tolerating dry, sandy soils and strong winds. When growing armeria on heavier soils incorporate plenty of grit prior to planting to improve drainage.

Deadhead faded flowers to extend the flowering season throughout the summer. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of armeria in spring to maintain their vigour.
