Design with this plant

Overview

Sea Pink (Armeria maritima), a charming evergreen perennial, thrives in coastal conditions with its tufted mounds of grass-like foliage, typically reaching 6-12 inches in height and spread. Showcasing dense, globe-shaped, rosy-pink blooms atop long stalks in late spring to early summer, it is ideal for rock gardens, borders, or edging. Preferring full sun and well-drained soil, it's hardy, salt-tolerant, and requires minimal care once established.
