Sea thrift is a good small-scale choice for rockeries, gravel beds, path edging, or a container. Avoid heavy, winter-wet ground. ## Maintenance Water during establishment, then keep irrigation modest where drainage is good. Trim spent flower stems to tidy the plant and prolong the display. Leave the evergreen foliage in place over winter; divide older clumps in spring if they become open in the center. Remove faded stems and leave the evergreen foliage in place over winter.
