Details

Armeria White Sea Thrift Armeria Maritima Alba is a compact, mounding, perennial. Armeria is also called Common Thrift, and this evergreen perennial can be grown from Armeria seeds that germinate in approximately 21 days. White Sea Thrift produces globular, pure-white flowers over attractive, dark-green, grass-like foliage. The global clusters of tiny, fragrant, white flowers start to appear in mid-spring and the bloom continues for a few weeks until mid-summer.
