Armeria, Pinkball Thrift, Plantain Thrift 'Joystick White'

One of the toughest plants in our inland San Diego garden!

The following spring I put the plant into our clay-loam with a bit of sand, watered until established, and have given it nothing since. At no point has this plant appeared stressed.

The little floating ping pong balls are adorable, and if you stick your nose in them, they smell like cinnamon--I couldn't pass it up! I'll post photos and update my rating when I know more about this cutie.

Short 12" - Plant 12" apart. Medium white ping pong-sized balls.
