Armeria maritima 'Rubrifolia' (Rubrifolia Sea Thrift)
Super for defining a sunny border edge or between stepping stones, this small, evergreen perennial grows 6-10 in. wide and tall, prefers sunny locations and dry, infertile, well-drained soil, but is adaptable to other soil conditions. Its narrow, grass-like leaves are a wine-red color, but otherwise it resembles a typical sea thrift, forming tidy tufts that mound over time. The pom-pom flowers are a long-lasting magenta-pink, make excellent cut and dried flowers, attract pollinators, and will rebloom if deadheaded.
Works for rock gardens, edging, in containers, between pavers, and massed as a ground cover for small areas. Deer and rabbit resistant.
