The Armeria packed a hellova punch this year.

just setting buds

in full flower power glory

This year the flowers lasted at least a month!  Couldn’t believe it!  There are a couple different varieties of Armeria but they are a great addition to any bed edge border.

But once the flowers are spent…what’s a girl to do?

blah

Usually I tell people not to bother with trimming the dead blooms…I’ve got too much other stuff to do.  But since I’ve got such a mass grouping of them, the front landscape would look much better without the spent buds.

Do you deadhead your perennials?

Once clipped (with no rhyme or reason)…they resemble a lil grass tuff…and I kinda think that’s cute.

Happy Planting!
