Statice

Statice – Sprays of tubular, pale violet blooms open in early summer on clumps of leaves which are arranged in rosettes, on this unusual “Sea Lavender” which is ideal for a hot sunny spot. Flowers are tubular with a persistent colored calyx and a five-lobed corolla, and are quite papery in nature, giving them a long flowering period and making them useful for cutting and drying. Time for planting: April, May.
