Athabasca Thrift

Overview

Athabasca Thrift (Armeria maritima subsp. interior) is an upright, clump-forming perennial found growing across sandy, gravelly and gravelly soil in mountainous regions of Oregon and Montana. Spreading up to 6 inches in width, this plant produces bright-pink, densely packed flower heads atop attractive, gray-green foliage. Flowers typically open in late spring and have a long blooming period that lasts up to two months. The evergreen foliage serves as a contrast to winter snow, making Athabasca Thrift a great addition to any rocky garden. For best results, place the plant in full sun and well-drained soil.
