Statice ( Limonium )Seeds

Statice flowers are vivid Mediterranean imports that have found favor with florists, crafters, and home gardeners alike who appreciate the showy, long lasting bracts.
The other common names of sea foam, sea lavender, and marsh rosemary are a clue to the tough nature of the genus Limonium, and the fact that it thrives in coastal gardens, shrugging off salty soil and sea spray. Statice plants grow 15 to 30 inches tall in all zones as a warm weather annual.
This plant complements many full sun flower beds and gardens. History of the statice flower shows it was once prized as a late-summer addition to bouquets, but new hybridized versions make it available now for longer use. The use of statice as cut flowers is highly desirable.
When growing statice as cut flowers for fresh bouquets, both foliage and protrusions should be stripped from lower stems to provide more longevity. They also look attractive in dried arrangements, and cut plants can be hung upside down in bunches and placed in a dark location with cool temperatures for drying.

D9900 Sunset Mix ( Limonium sinuata )

Sunset Mix Statice is a colorful annual that produces abundant clusters of papery blooms in warm sunset shades of gold, apricot, rose, salmon, lavender, purple, and deep blue. One of the finest flowers for both fresh bouquets and everlasting arrangements, Statice blooms continuously throughout the summer and retains its brilliant color long after drying. Its upright stems and long-lasting flowers make it an essential addition to cutting gardens, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Garden Uses:
Excellent for cutting gardens, cottage gardens, mixed annual borders, dried flower gardens, pollinator gardens, and containers. Sunset Mix blends beautifully with zinnias, cosmos, scabiosa, celosia, strawflowers, gomphrena, larkspur, and ornamental grasses. The vibrant blooms add rich color to both fresh floral arrangements and dried bouquets that can last for years.

Growing Information:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost or direct sow outdoors after frost danger has passed. Cover seeds lightly and keep evenly moist during germination. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Statice performs exceptionally well in warm, dry conditions and tolerates heat better than many annual flowers. Remove spent flower stems to encourage continuous blooming. Plants typically grow 24–30 inches tall with numerous branching flower stems.
