The Siberian sea thrift is a cold-hardy perennial subspecies native to subarctic and alpine regions, making it exceptionally tough in cool climates. Plant it in well-drained soil in a partly shaded to full-sun spot and water consistently but never to excess. Its compact cushion of foliage and pink pompom blooms make it a charming choice for rock gardens and northern cottage borders.
