Tips to Grow Sea thrift

  1. Arrange good quality Sea thrift seed.
  2. The soil should be evenly moist, but not wet or soggy.
  3. Dig the hole up to two times larger than the root ball and deep enough that the plant will be at the same level in the ground as the soil level in the container. Push the soil gently around the roots filling in empty space around the root ball.
  4. We can add compost and can spread 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant for better growth.
  5. Depending on the flowering habit, snip off faded blooms individually, or wait until the blooming period is over and remove the entire flower stalk down to the base of the plant. 
  6. Once plants have died to the ground they are easy to clean up by simply cutting back to about 4 inches above the ground. Perennials should be dug up and divided every 3-4 years. This stimulates healthy new growth, encourages future blooming.
