Armeria (Thrifts)

Armeria, commonly known as thrifts, are hardy perennial plants that thrive in coastal and rocky habitats. Their dense, grass-like foliage and pink or white globe-shaped flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. These plants provide a reliable nectar source during their long flowering season, which spans spring to early summer.

Thrifts suit dry, well-drained soils and full sun, making them ideal for rock gardens or low-maintenance borders. Their compact growth habit shelters small insects, while their seeds offer food for birds. This plant requires minimal care once established, making it a practical choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.
