ARMERIA Nifty Thrifty - Dwarf Sea Thrift - Short 4" - Plant 8" apart. Zone 3-9. Miniature Armeria with each leaf outlined in yelllow . The little tufts make a nice color contrast. Flowers are pastel pink.
General Information:
Neat tufts of grasslike foliage with bright flower globes on wiry stems. Flowers in the late spring, excellent for the front of a border. Does well and is colorful almost anywhere. Consistently evergreen in southern gardens; semi-evergreen in the north.
