Gardening Tips from Fran
This Armeria is such a super neat plant. I love this one! I have it in numerous places around my yard but my favorite is in my containers. It is an extraordinary bloomer and I put it in my front entry so that I can enjoy it daily.
This little gem will in fact take kid and animal foot traffic, but only in limitation. A Great Dane and 6 kids will be too much for it. However, a couple of poodles and a toddler would be fine.
Try it in your Fairy Garden as a delightful grass substitute!!
