Description
Thrift (Armeria maritima) also called Sea Pink, is a low-growing perennial. The heads of the flower form dense cushions of bright pink flowers in early summer. It thrives on sea cliffs, salt marshes, and coastal habitats, but can also be found in the Scottish highlands. Its compact growth and vivid blooms attract bees and other pollinators, while its hardy, salt-tolerant nature makes it ideal for coastal gardens and naturalistic plantings.
Our Thrift plants for sale are priced per plant. For orders over 500 plants please contact us.
All our plants are native British wildflowers grown in Peat-free compost in our sustainable nursery.
