The British threepence coin issued between 1937 and 1952 had a design of thrift on the reverse.

As part of a 2002 marketing campaign, the plant conservation charity Plantlife chose sea thrift as the "county flower" of the Isles of Scilly.

Thrift was mentioned in Sir John Betjeman's poem 'A Bay in Anglesea'.

Pink Thrift was a memorable part of the description of Kirrin Castle around which many of the adventures of Enid Blyton's Famous Five took place: "The  coarse  green  grass  sprang  everywhere, and pink thrift grew its cushions in holes and crannies."
