Love Thrift, didn't it used to be on the Thrupenny Bit?

Thrift? I LOVE it and I WANT it!

I have never seen Thrift before, but a google search tells me that some varieties are hardy in my area. Now I only need to decide if I want it in my garden or on a pot on the deck: I think it will be a handsome plant either way!

Beautiful! I have also never heard of thrift before, it is stunning! Do they come in different colors? Do you propagate from a bulb? I sure would like to have one.. I will do my research on thrift and find out if it grows where I live.

I have only seen them in white and pink Maddie .

You can see them in the alpine plants at the garden centres.

Are you in the UK
