Armeria maritima | Deep Rose Little flower recipe book Buddleja salvifolia prefers well-drained soilArmeria maritima Sea thrift, or Sea Pinks, this one is called Deep Rose. A lovely little filler perennial for the front of borders, although I've grown them in between pavers, and they look great! They grow 20cm 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. Deep rose coloured,
