Armeria caespitosa, commonly known as Juniper-Leaved Thrift, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the central region of Spain. It forms dense, low-growing tufts reaching a height of 0.2-0.4 feet (0.06-0.1 meters) and a width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters). The plant is characterized by its grass-like, dark green leaves and globular clusters of pink and white flowers that bloom profusely in the spring and summer, adding a splash of color to the garden landscape.

Juniper-Leaved Thrift is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, coastal gardens, and as a ground cover in sunny, dry areas. Its compact size and attractive flowers also make it suitable for border fronts, edging, and container planting. Gardeners appreciate its low maintenance requirements, as it needs minimal watering once established and is generally free of serious pests and diseases. However, it is important to avoid overwatering and to provide well-draining soil to prevent root rot. While it is not known for aggressive roots or invasiveness, it is sensitive to wet conditions, especially in winter.CC BY-SA 4.0
