Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams Thrift (Armeria pseudarmeria ‘Hypnotic Dreams’) adds a splash of intense ruby-red color to your garden from spring to fall. Its charming round clusters of blooms rise above compact mounds of green, grass-like foliage, reaching around 10 to 12 inches both tall and wide. This Thrift stands out for its lengthy flowering season and brilliant color display. Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams is also a strong contender for container arrangements or near a patio space, where its bloom clusters can be easily admired.
In addition to its eye-catching appearance, Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams Thrift proves itself surprisingly easy to maintain. This heat-tolerant, deer-resistant perennial adapts well to full sun, making it useful in coastal areas, meadows, or sunny borders. It attracts butterflies and has moderate watering needs, while resisting mild frosts and overly damp conditions. Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams successfully marries a classic, tufted Thrift look with modern improvements in heat tolerance and repeat blooming, making it a versatile solution for many gardening styles.
Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams Thrift Care
Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams Thrift prefers a spot with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day and thrives in well-drained, loamy or sandy soils. It appreciates moderate watering, but only when the top portion of soil feels dry—excess water can cause root problems. Consistent feeding once per month in garden beds, or every two weeks for container plantings, encourages steady growth and abundant blooms. While it is cold hardy to Zone 5a, providing a light mulch around the base in winter can offer additional root protection in colder regions.
Shear or remove spent flowers regularly to promote fresh buds and prolong the blooming period. Extended pruning beyond removing old bloom stalks is not typically required. If needed, gently trim back any overgrowth in late fall or early spring to refresh the plant’s appearance. In containers, a quick snip of any dead or damaged leaves helps maintain a neat shape.
Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams Thrift Spacing
For a bold, continuous display, space your Dreameria® Hypnotic Dreams plants about 12 to 14 inches apart along borders or in mass plantings. When growing in containers, choose a pot roughly 10 inches across to accommodate the mound’s eventual spread. Larger planters can hold multiple Thrift plants for a bold seasonal display.

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).

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.
