Great Thrift 'Ballerina Red', False Sea Thrift 'Ballerina Red', Ballerina Series
Noted for its excellent garden performance, Armeria pseudarmeria ‘Ballerina Red’ (Great Thrift) is a compact, evergreen perennial boasting large, ball-shaped blooms packed with small rose-red flowers. Blooming profusely in mid to late spring, and then sporadically reblooming throughout the summer and into the early fall, they are borne on stiff stems that rise well above the cushion-shaped, grassy foliage of lance-shaped, blue-green leaves. A charming little plant that is ridiculously easy to grow and is perfect for edging walks, borders, rock gardens or containers. Low maintenance and salt tolerant, Ballerina Red is a first year flowering perennial.
