Discover the Delicate Beauty of Armeria (Thrift or Sea Pink)

Armeria (also known as thrift or sea pink) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Plumbaginaceae. The name "thrift" is derived from the Old Norse word "þrift", meaning "strength" or "prosperity".

Armeria species are perennial herbs that grow in coastal areas, typically on rocky shores and sandy beaches. They have small, pink or white flowers that bloom in the spring and summer. The leaves of Armeria plants are narrow and pointed, and they can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) tall.

Armeria is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and it has been introduced to other parts of the world as an ornamental plant. It is often used in rock gardens and coastal landscaping, where its tolerance for salt spray and poor soil makes it a good choice.

Armeria is also sometimes grown as a cut flower, and it is said to have a long vase life when properly cared for. The flowers are popular in bouquets and arrangements because of their delicate appearance and fragrant scent.
