Plant details
Sea thrift is widely found on seashores in the northern hemisphere, and makes very good ground cover in summer with its clumps of dark green foliage. It has a nice covering of small white flowers from the end of spring to summer, though you needn't stick to this one cultivar. Mix 'Alba' with the dark red 'Bloodstone' and the light pink 'Vindictive, which has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM), to form a patchwork quilt. A good choice for coastal gardens with average to poor soil.
