Armeria maritima Pale Pink, commonly known as Sea Thrift, is a compact evergreen perennial admired for its neat tufts of grassy foliage and delicate pale pink, globe-shaped flowers held on slender stems. Flowering freely from spring into early summer, it creates a charming, cushion-like display that is perfect for rockeries, edging, coastal gardens, and containers. Its tolerance of dry, windy, and salty conditions makes it an excellent choice for low-maintenance and seaside planting schemes.
