Plant Profile: Armeria maritima

Sea thrift is well-suited to withstand moderate salt spray and thrives along the Mediterranean coast. It typically grows in rounded mats or tufts. To ensure its survival, it is essential to provide excellent drainage, as poor conditions can lead to the decline of the clumps. The plant's short, grass-like leaves may be overshadowed by taller, spreading perennials if measures are not taken to safeguard its growing area from encroachment. Additionally, sea thrift is sensitive to foot traffic. This plant can be propagated by dividing its clumps.
