Overview

Characterized by its dense clump of grass-like foliage, 'Morning Star White' produces upright stems each bearing a white, rounded flowerhead.

This sea thrift variety is perfect for adding a splash of colour to alpine beds or gravel gardens. Additionally, it can tolerate salt-laden winds, making it an excellent choice for seaside settings. In a town garden, Armeria maritima will thrive in a pot or windowbox and looks fantastic when incorporated into the front of a sunny border.

Care guide

Armeria grows best in full sun and free-draining, poor to moderately fertile soil so ideal for coastal gardens, rockeries, gravel borders, and edging paths. Water well during establishment, but once settled, it becomes drought tolerant and requires little irrigation.

Avoid rich soils or overfeeding, as this encourages weak, floppy growth and reduces flowering. Deadhead faded blooms regularly to prolong the display and maintain a tidy look.

Every few years, divide mature clumps in spring to keep them vigorous and compact. It dislikes winter wet, so ensure drainage is good—raise the planting area or add grit if necessary. In containers, use a gritty, low-fertility loam-based compost mix, such as John Innes No. 2, to mimic its natural conditions.
