description Thrift Overview
Thrift is the common name for plants in the genus Armeria, a group of low-growing evergreen perennials found especially in coastal habitats of the Northern Hemisphere. Many species form compact tufts of narrow leaves and produce rounded clusters of pink flowers on slender stems. Their tolerance of wind, drought, poor soil, and salt makes them suitable for rock gardens, coastal plantings, and other exposed sites.
