Splendens Beach Thrift
Armeria Maritima Splendens
A robust, clump-forming, evergreen perennial with deep green, grass-like foliage and rounded heads of intensely-coloured, deep pink blooms. These are produced on erect flowering stems between May and August and contrast beautifully with the foliage. Growing best in a poor to moderately fertile soil, it’s ideal for planting alongside walkways, rock gardens and garden edges. It’s also tolerant of salt-laden air making it a great choice for growing in dry, infertile alpine gardens near the coast. We recommend pinching out faded flowers immediately to encourage a second flush of colour.

Garden Care:
Remove dead, damaged and straggling stems on an annual basis. Please Note: Although all our perennials are advertised as being sold in 1 litre containers, they are sometimes stocked in 9cm pots instead (particularly during the winter). If you order perennials from us, we reserve the right to supply them in 9cm pots instead of 1 litre containers, at a price of £2.50 instead of £3.80. Between November and March many perennials go ‘dormant’ which, in some cases, means they are sold as a root, corm or bulb with no top growth. If you order perennials whilst they are dormant, they may not be visible above the soil level when purchased but will burst into life in the spring.
