Thrift seapink
Sea thrift - Armeria maritima.
It grows wildly along the sea coasts of Northwestern Europe and North America.
Zones: 3-9.
A perennial cushion-shaped plant 15-20 cm tall and 15 cm across, with narrow, linear, flat, obtuse blue-green leaves.
The flowers are lilac-pink, collected in capitate inflorescences, covered with membranous bracts.
It blooms from May for about 70 days, sometimes again in the fall. 1,0 g = 500-600 seeds.
Location: armeria are planted in sunny places. Drought resistant. Most species overwinter without shelter.
Soil: light sandy loam damp soil, preferably acidic. They cannot tolerate lime.
Care: immediately after flowering, cut off the inflorescences. For the winter they are covered with spruce branches. Once every 5-6 years it is necessary to divide the bush.
Reproduction: by seeds, dividing the bush and cuttings. Seeds are sown in open ground before winter or spring. To grow seedlings, they can be sown in greenhouses in boxes in February - March. Seedlings dive into the greenhouse soil. Young plants bloom in the second year, with early sowing - in the autumn of the same year. Self-seeding possible. The bushes are divided every 2-3 years in early spring or autumn (which is more preferable), immediately after flowering ends. Each bush can be divided into small parts, which quickly take root, giving rise to new plants. The planting distance is 15-20 cm. Cuttings are taken from spring to autumn. Small rosettes are taken for cuttings.
Use: recommended for rock gardens, borders, ridges and groups.
Partners: due to its dense, herbaceous rosettes that retain their greenery even in winter, Armeria fits well into groups of large creeping plants.
