Thrifts are easy to grow, long flowering plants, with unusual ball-shaped flowers borne on thin wiry stems. They make a pleasant addition to the flower border, and thrive in ordinary garden soil or even poor soil. For best results grow thrift in a sunny spot, where it will flower all summer long.
Armeria pseudoarmeria 'Joystick White' is a hybrid thrift, bred as a cut flower. Plants form a low mound of evergreen leaves, bearing white flowers on strong stems from late spring. It's ideal for growing at the front of borders and in pots.
Keep plants flowering for longer by removing faded blooms. Flowers are ideal for using in floral arrangements, and they can also be picked and hung indoors to dry for winter displays. Propagate Armeria pseudoarmeria 'Joystick White' by division in autumn or spring.
