Good plant #69 - Armeria Juniperifolia 'Bevan's Variety'



This is a very compact, evergreen and mat-forming plant. It flowers very profusely albeit for a very short period.



It must have well drained and light soil and a fairly sunny site. It is ideal for growing in pots, dry stone walls and other rocky environs. It is a very low maintenance plant.



As soon as flowering is finished, I use a sharp pair of scissors to remove the flowers. This is not necessary but tidies up the plant.



You can divide this plant in very early spring or after flowering.
