Armeria juniperifolia, the juniper-leaved thrift, is a species of flowering plant in the family Plumbaginaceae. It is a mat-forming evergreen perennial, with pale pink clover-like flowers appearing in Spring above dark green, needle-like foliage. Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use, where it is suitable for cultivation in the alpine or rock garden. This species and the cultivar 'Bevan's Variety' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Armeria leucocephala subsp. leucocephala possesses good resistance to disease and is, in general, not prone to illnesses. With respect to maintenance, this species is relatively low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs only minimal watering, and larger plants typically do not require pruning. Smaller specimens, however, should be pruned after they finish blooming. Armeria leucocephala subsp. leucocephalat is suitable for anyone who has an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand much experience in plant care.
