Sea Thrift is a pretty plant with pink flowers that grows near the sea. It likes sandy soil and can be found along coastlines. Bees love to visit Sea Thrift for its sweet nectar.
Hábitat: Coastal areas
The Sea Thrift has dense, grass-like leaves forming a cushion at its base. From this cushion emerge slender stems topped with globe-shaped clusters of small, delicate pink or purple flowers. These vibrant blooms stand out strikingly against its often rocky coastal habitat.
