Armeria 'Daydream'
- From late spring all the way through to late summer, Armeria pseudarmeria 'Daydream' produces a stunning succession of spherical, vibrant pink flowerheads held proudly on strong, tall stems.
- This versatile evergreen perennial forms a neat, tufted clump of lanceolate, green leaves, ensuring year-round structure and foliage interest in the garden even after the colourful blooms have faded.
- Thanks to its sturdy stems and bold, globular blooms, this armeria serves as an excellent, long-lasting cut flower to help bring a touch of summer indoors.
- It's an incredibly resilient, low-maintenance choice that's highly drought-tolerant and perfect for coastal or gravel gardens, thriving beautifully in full sun and well-drained soils.
- Commonly known as 'great thrift', the plant's name is an endearing nod to its thrifty nature, given its impressive ability to flourish in poor, sandy soils where many other plants would simply fail to grow.
