Thrift is a durable perennial for almost any sunny location. It produces bright pink flower clusters on dark green leaves, and has long flower stems. This genus is strictly an early spring and late fall, cool season flowering perennial. Trim off the spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Good for a rock garden or used as an edging plant, and also does excellent in tubs or mixed containers.
