Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Armeria (an old Latin name). Plumbaginaceae. Sea Pink. Thrift. Small perennial herbs, with rosettes of narrow evergreen leaves on the ground, planted along borders and walks, used for continuous low edgings and in rock-gardens; sometimes grown as pot-plants.

Scape naked, simple, 2-12 in. high, on which is borne a compact head of pink, lilac or white fls., the head being subtended by small bracts, forming a kind of involucre; fls. with plaited funnel-shaped dry calyx, the lobes pointed; 5 petals nearly or quite distinct and tapering at the base; 5 stamens opposite the corolla parts; styles 5, hairy below the middle: fr. a utricle inclosed in the calyx.—About 50 species in Eu., W. Asia, N. Afr. and 1 in N. Amer., much confused.

Armerias are of easiest culture, being hardy and free growers. Propagation is by division of the stools; also by seeds.
