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.[1] Numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use, where it is suitable for cultivation in the alpine or rock garden.
This species[2] and the cultivar 'Bevan's Variety'[3] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4]
