Its foliage tends to remain low and dense right to the ground. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. \u003cspan\u003eIt can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara3\"\u003eGlory of Holland Sea Thrift is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its spreading habit of growth, it is ideally suited for use as a 'spiller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the edges where it can spill gracefully over the pot. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VN 24","offers":[{"title":"4.5\" Pot","offer_id":52344431214871,"sku":"B3 W-A","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0205\/4654\/files\/ArmeriaMaritimasplendens.png?v=1772818778","url":"https:\/\/www.calgaryplants.com\/products\/armeria-splendens-sea-thrift","provider":"Calgary Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
