Notes
'Forever Blue' statice (Limonium sinuatum 'Forever Blue') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It grows fast, tolerates drought and salt, and draws bees to its lavender and blue blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Cut the stems for bouquets.
Pairs well with California poppy, Pink, and Creeping thyme.
