I received this Armeria last year as A. rubrifolia. But I suspect that's not true... because the flowers have no stems. Are there any cultivars of them? Or can anyone make a determination based on this photograph?
Thanks
Thomas

I think your suspicions are correct as it should have reddish foliage!
Not sure on the identity though; if all the flowers are sessile it is worth keeping!

It’s definitely not rubrifolia, and I once had ambition to own a national collection, but having collected many, I cannot remember seeing any that looked like this stemless flower. I will be most interested when you manage to identify it.

Hello fermi & chris...
I think I have the solution to this little riddle.
I was informed this morning by my good friend Dave Toole (NZ) via WhatsApp that it could probably be Armeria " Candy Floss". It is available at Hokonui Nursery... unfortunately unavailable to me.
Again a thousand thanks to Dave...😉
