About this Plant

Splendens Sea Thrift (Armeria maritima 'Splendens') is a classic California native relative that brings a bright splash of deep rose-pink to the garden. Known for its ultra-tidy, evergreen mounds of dark green, needle-like foliage, 'Splendens' is one of the most reliable and long-blooming of all the thrifts. From spring through fall, it produces a steady parade of vibrant pink, globe-shaped flowers that hover above the grass-like leaves like tiny colorful bubbles.

As a durable member of the Armeria genus, 'Splendens' is a "set-it-and-forget-it" plant for sunny, dry areas. It is particularly well-suited for coastal environments where it shrugs off salt spray and intense winds. Because it forms a dense, gopher-resistant cushion, it is a top choice for rock gardens, groundcovers, and border edging. It also makes a charming, long-lasting cut flower for small bud vases.

Why you’ll love it:

  • Vibrant Color: Features deeper, richer pink flowers than the standard species.
  • Long Bloom Time: Provides color from spring through the end of autumn.
  • Coastal Champion: Exceptionally tolerant of salt air, wind, and rocky soil.
  • Deer & Gopher Resistant: A tough, resilient choice for rural or open landscapes.

This healthy 4"" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and prefers moderate to low water once established.
