Problems
I’m not sure Armeria can reach its full size in the Vermont climate; Other tufts remain fairly small (8; diameter) here and production is low, will leave plants in to mature; Flowers senesce on top of umbel, looks like a bald guys head, non uniform for flowering; Flower unmarketable, only 30% survival of plants; Inconsistent yield, more for roadside market rather than a professional cut, unreliable to flower, better as a garden perennial; Size of flower, plants grew well, just wasn’t impressed with them, planted some in my own flower beds, but they seemed lost among other plants, not enough color or sizeable flowers to show up; Flowers brown fast; Didn’t germinate; Took 7 months to bloom, very small globe flower heads, size of a jawbreaker; grows very slow, hard to establish.

Comments
Similar to other Armerias; For some reason florist do not like – mostly I think because one needs so many to make them look buyable, I put 20-25 per bunch and the bunches still looked skimpy, Also, they do not hold up well in 42°F cooler, their heads droop; Very good show late in August; May be better second year; We planted this in our display beds, and it was beautiful.
