Swaying atop slender stems over grass-like leaves, the flowers of the Armeria Dreameria® Daydream (Armeria pseudarmeria) look more like fluffy Dr. Seussian lollipops than they do heat-tolerant perennials. This long-blooming perennial, also called Thrift or Sea Pink, produces these round clusters of ballet-slipper pink flowers from the spring until mid fall. Growing 10-12 inches tall and wide, Armeria Dreameria® Daydream is a petite mounding plant that does well in hot, sunny gardens, able to continue blooming even in periods of drought.
Deer, pest, and disease resistant, it seems that the only thing Armeria Dreameria® Daydream attracts is pollinators and our attention. Plant Armeria Dreameria® Daydream in a rock garden, use as a border plant, or keep in a container as a filler for a continuous source of color. Armeria Dreameria® Daydream is low maintenance, only requiring the removal of old flowers to allow it to produce more. Armeria is a North America native and naturally adaptable to a wide range of climates and can even be used as a cut flower.
Armeria Dreameria® Daydream Care
Armeria Dreameria® Daydream grows best in full sun and in well-draining soil. To plant, place it in a hole that is twice the width and of equal depth as the root ball. If your soil is heavy with clay, amend it to allow for adequate drainage. Water Armeria Dreameria® Daydream moderately and deeply, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize Armeria monthly when planted in a garden or bi-weekly in containers to better support flower production.
Armeria Dreameria® Daydream does not require much maintenance. About once a month, remove any faded flowers to allow for the plant to focus on producing more.
Armeria Dreameria® Daydream Spacing
Plant Armeria Dreameria® Daydream 12-14 inches away from other plants to allow it to spread. When creating a mass planting, plant Armeria Dreameria® Daydream a bit closer together to allow for them to fill quickly.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
