Armeria 'Sweet Dreams'
- A stunning little seasider, 'Sweet Dreams' elevates beds and borders wherever it's found, but it looks especially good amongst coastal settings.
- Sporting charming, pink pom-pom blooms atop sturdy green stems, this sea thrift is as cheery as it is robust - which is, to say, pretty darn robust!
- Low-maintenance and easy to grow, 'Sweet Dreams' is an excellent choice for busy gardeners who want a plant that just gets on with things on its own.
- Naturally performing well in poorer soils, thrift often succeeds where other plants fail. So, if you know that your soil isn't particularly fertile, this might be the plant for you.
- Plant alongside sedum, dianthus and creeping phlox for the ultimate zero-fuss coastal bed or border.
