Armeria pseudarmeria | Ballerina Red | Great Thrift Mieko Sakaguchi You can line the bottomArmeria pseudoarmeria, Great Thrift, a lovely little filler perennial for the front of borders, although we've grown them in between pavers, and they look great! They grow 40cm tall and wide and do really well in almost any soil. As the name suggests, they do great in coastal gardens too, in fact I have memories of them growing all over the coastal walls and banks of Europe. So, so pretty. Unusual and hard to find tall red lollipop shaped blooms
