Alpine thrift
Armeria alpina
Alpine thrift is a charming, compact perennial ideal for rock gardens, borders, and alpine troughs, thriving in full sun with excellent drainage. It is very drought tolerant once established and requires minimal watering; consistently wet or heavy soils will cause root rot. Trim back lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy mounded shape and encourage repeat blooming.
