2. Watering:

   • Water ARMERIA maritima regularly during the growing season, especially during dry spells or periods of prolonged drought. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent waterlogging.

3. Deadheading:

   • Remove spent flower heads promptly to prolong the blooming period and maintain the plant's tidy appearance. Deadheading also prevents self-seeding and encourages the production of new flower buds.

4. Dividing and Propagation:

   • Every few years, divide mature clumps of ARMERIA maritima Abbey White to rejuvenate the plants and prevent overcrowding. Propagate Sea Thrift from division or by collecting and sowing seeds in spring or early autumn.
