Description

A Fleuroselect Gold Medal award winner, ‘Ballerina Red’ Armeria, also called False Sea Thrift, is adored for its abundant ball-shaped clusters of red flowers that are perched atop stiff stems which rise above an attractive, tidy mound of forest-green evergreen foliage in mid to late spring. Sporadic rebloom may occur during the summer months if the first round of flowers are removed. The flowers are excellent for cutting and display in floral arrangements. The butterflies and beneficial pollinators will thank you for planting this one. A low-maintenance perennial well-suited for alpine, inland or coastal gardens. Compact and low growing, it’s a perfect plant for edging, border fronts, rock gardens, wall pockets and containers or massed in small areas.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to 12 to 14 inches tall in bloom and 12 to 16 inches wide, Ballerina Red Sea Thrift is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces and containers or in groupings in larger perennial borders. A fine addition to alpine gardens, coastal gardens, perennial gardens, red theme gardens, cottage gardens, butterfly gardens, pollinator gardens and rock gardens.

Growing Preferences

Ballerina Red Sea Thrift is easy to grow in a moist but well drained soil of average to low fertility. Constantly wet and overly rich soils are problematic. Clay and other compact soils need to be amended to ensure good drainage. Not picky about soil pH. Grows best in full sun to light shade. Will prefer some afternoon shade in hot climates. We suggest at least 6 hours of sun per day for best growth and flowering. Removing spent flower heads can encourage rebloom. No need for fertilize though an occasional very light application of an organic plant food can be beneficial.

Plant Long & Prosper!
