About This Plant

Armeria maritima 'Morning Star' (Sea Thrift), 'Morning Star', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.

Sea Thrift (Armeria) , coastal cliff-edge perennial with grass-like tufts and pink or white globe flowers. Extremely tough and salt-tolerant.

Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained, lean soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 9. Sharp drainage essential. Drought-tolerant.

For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
