Armeria pseudarmeria Dreameria ‘Vivid Dreams’ – Sea Thrift

Description

Armeria pseudarmeria Dreameria ‘Vivid Dreams’ – Great Thrift, Sea Thrift, Sea Pink

A showstopping addition to the acclaimed Dreameria series, ‘Vivid Dreams’ produces bold, deep purple ball-shaped flower heads on sturdy stems above a compact mound of grass-like evergreen foliage from spring through frost. Bred for longer flowering, heat tolerance, and a tidy habit, it offers broader leaves, stiffer stems, and larger flowers than Armeria maritima. Tough and adaptable, it thrives in coastal conditions, poor soils, and dry gardens with minimal care — a reliable performer for rock gardens, borders, edging, containers, and cut flower arrangements.
