    Plant Type: Perennials

    A hardy perennial that will bloom the first year from seed, plants have cushions of deep green foliage adorned with 1-1/2 to 2" round, all. Thrift 'Joystick Red' can have two or three shades of red popping out of a single clump, & even an occasional purple. It seems only the white ones have predictable color.

     

    Growing & Maintenance Tips:

    Periodic deadheading keeps it blooming.  Armeria like well drained soil and full sun. You must make divisions in the fall as undivided clumps lose vigor.
