Sea Thrift (Rabhán)
This charming native wildflower is sometimes known as Sea Pink or Cliff Rose and is indeed a common sight on cliffs in the west of Ireland. It tends to form little carpets on rocks and saltmarshes from April to July, with dense tufts of small, papery, pink flowers and grass-like grey-green leaves and slender, bare flowerstalks. A lovely little plant that will enhance any rock or coastal garden where it will sway away happily in the sea breeze.
