Description:
This seaside perennial has a cute tuft of narrow foliage all year, topped with bright pink balls of flowers in spring. A nice addition to a coastal garden, or further inland where it will get some summer water. We like it with Idaho Fescue, Coastal Poppy, and Blue Eyed Grass, plants which won't dwarf it.
