Notes
'Pastel Shades' statice (Limonium sinuatum 'Pastel Shades') 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. The pink, rose, and purple flowers are sturdy and work as fresh or dried cuts. Bees visit the blooms, and the plant handles drought and salt well. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Silver sage, California poppy, Pink, and Lemongrass.
