watering
Hybrid thrift should be watered moderately and consistently. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels almost dry to the touch. If the weather is particularly hot and dry, water may need to be applied more frequently than every other day. Never allow the soil to become too dry or soggy, though. If the soil is continually soaked, root rot may develop and the plant may become unhealthy. Additionally, be sure to avoid overly wetting the leaves of the plant as wet foliage may become prone to disease.
sunlight
Hybrid thrift (Armeria x hybrida) does best when grown in full sun, receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It’s a low-maintenance plant that can tolerate some light shade, but will perform best in full sun. During the spring and summer months, it requires plenty of light to grow and bloom. In the winter, direct sun can be too strong for this plant, so it’s best to provide indirect or full-shade sunlight during this time.
pruning
Hybrid thrift, or Armeria x hybrida, is a plant species that prefers well-drained soil and full sun or part shade. Due to its mat-forming habit, and its ability to spread, it requires regular pruning to keep it looking its best. To keep hybrid thrift neat, dense and flowering for as long as possible, it is best to trim it back after the flowering period, usually in late summer or early autumn. Prune off the old flowers and the stems below them to promote better air circulation and encourage more compact growth. Over time, if needed, thin out some of the stems, reducing the overall size. This should be done carefully and gently, taking small snips at a time.
Season
The hybrid thrift is typically harvested from May to August.
