Add a splash of vibrant pink to borders, rock gardens, or containers with Sea Pink Armeria ‘Splendens’ (Armeria maritima). This charming plant forms neat, grassy clumps of evergreen foliage topped with clusters of vivid rosy-pink pom-pom flowers held aloft on slender stems. Long valued as a coastal plant, Armeria thrives in well-drained soil and brings reliable color where other flowers may struggle. I call these little globes of joy, they are so perfectly spherical.
 
While the plant is coastal, it thrives in cold coastal environments. These can even be seen near the beach all over Iceland and it is evergreen in many climates.
