Armeria pseudarmeria ‘Ballerina Red’, also known as Great Thrift or False Sea Pink, is a compact, hardy perennial prized for its brilliant deep red, globe-shaped flowers that bloom from late spring to early autumn. It’s a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, and coastal areas.
