It is well adapted to infertile terrain; it is salt tolerant with long roots. It is also sometimes known as Sea pink or Rock rose. It remains green throughout most of the year. The flower head is pink or pinky mauve and the leaves are long and thin. Photograph taken at Burnham Overy Straithe, Norfolk 22nd September 2010.
