A relative of our native sea thrift (A. maritima), but this hails from the coast of Spain, Portugal and some Mediterranean islands. From an impressive hummock of grass-like leaves arise tall stems, with spherical heads of flowers, pale pink-white. Needing a warm well-drained spot, but has now survived outside with us, for the last three years, in our gravel garden.
