| Great article. I love the Sea Pinks I have growing in my garden. Unfortunately so do the rabbits. They love to eat the flowers. But if I spray them with some repellent they do leave them alone. I have had some problems with the crowns getting too wet during the winter and the centers will die off. They look great again by the end of summer but they play catch up all season long, I will be trying your suggestion of using the pots over them this winter. |

| I agree, great article. I am reminded about how much I like Sea Thrifts. I like a perennial that is less well known, and there's such a range of hues that I just love them! Thanks Todd! |

| Another excellent article, Todd, keep 'em coming. A. maritima is fantastic on the coast here. |

| Thanks, Todd. I love my sea pinks, too. Last year I divided them to spread to more places in my garden and have a small lawn now in front of an ornamental wrought iron bench upon which small garden gnomes and frogs, etc. can frolic. And the best part is I don't have to mow it. Clip once when the blooms finish and that's it.
Enjoy your articles, keep them coming.
