It does not like wet feet, especially in winter, so avoid heavy clay or low spots that hold water. Water regularly the first season, then as needed during dry spells. To keep the flowers coming, cut spent stems back to the base about once a month through the season. The foliage is evergreen, so don't shear it in fall. Tidy any winter-damaged leaves in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dreameria® series was introduced to retail by Darwin Perennials in 2018, based on \u003cem\u003eArmeria pseudarmeria\u003c\/em\u003e, a larger-flowered relative of common sea thrift that grows wild in Portugal. The breeding goal was a thrift that flowers from frost to frost instead of one spring show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant it in a hot, sunny spot and cut a few for the kitchen.
