| Cultivation Advice | Also known as “false sea thrift”, Armeria pseudarmeria ‘Ballerina Mix’ has a more robust growth habit, with broader evergreen leaves than true sea thrift. ‘Ballerina Mix’s’ globe-shaped flower clusters are 1 inch across and stand atop long, strong stems. The plants grow 10-12 inches tall x 12-14 inches wide. These delightful perennials bloom from early spring through late fall, and over-winter well, often blooming year-round in mild climates. The pom-pom shaped flowers attract Butterflies and are deer resistant. Either fresh or dried, they make good cut flowers. First year flowering hardy perennial, ideal for rockeries. Cushion-shaped foliage and long-stemmed globular blooms. Grows to heights of 15-20cm. Sow in spring or summer, at around 20°C, and cover with vermiculite. Germination takes 3-4 weeks. Especially sensitive to overwatering. |
