Notes
'Ballerina Red' armeria (Armeria pseudarmeria 'Ballerina Red') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It is evergreen, so the foliage stays in the garden year round. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, which appear in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Lady's mantle, Autumn moor grass, and Star of persia.
