Armeria maritima 'Cotton Tail'
Common Name: Common Thrift, Sea Pink
Bright white, cotton ball flower clusters are produced on thin, leafless stalks held about 3-4 in. above the tight mounds of evergreen, grassy foliage. These little wonders bloom from mid-spring through early summer.
As its name implies, Sea Pinks are found naturally along coastlines where few other plants can handle the high salt concentration. Inland, this attribute makes them useful for planting along sidewalks or driveways that are salted in winter. They are also good candidates for rock gardens, between pavers, or in troughs.
