Why We Love It:
‘Victor Reiter’ Sea Thrift is a compact, dependable perennial that brings tidy evergreen texture and cheerful spring color to sunny gardens. Its dense grassy foliage forms neat mounds year-round, while the rounded flower clusters float just above the plant in late spring, creating a clean refined look among gravel and stone. Tough, drought tolerant, and highly adaptable to difficult conditions, it performs beautifully in rock gardens, coastal plantings, and sharply drained landscapes with very little maintenance.

Additional Info:
Bee friendly, deer resistant, and highly tolerant of salty coastal conditions. Performs best in gritty, sharply drained soils and should not be overwatered once established. Deadheading spent flowers helps encourage continued bloom and keeps plants looking tidy. Excellent for containers, edging pathways, alpine gardens, and low-water landscapes where evergreen structure is desired year-round.
