Description
Armeria ballerina is a mat-forming evergreen perennial with dense, needle-like leaves and erect scales to 15cm, bearing compact clusters of cup-shaped pink flowers in late spring and summer. Best grown in infertile, dry, well-drained soils in full sun. Foliage mounds tend to rot in the center if grown in moist, fertile soils or in heavy clay. Good drainage is essential. Deadhead spend flower stems to encourage additional bloom.
