This little plant is a no fuss easy care plant which forms  small neat and tidy cushions of green leaves in your garden bed . From these cushions appear flowers in shades of red, pink lilac and white . The flowers are larger than the usual armeria and make good cut flowers.  The plant likes well drained soil, which is a little on the dry side and can tolerate some drought.

Sowing advice
