Notes
Sea lavender (Limonium perezii) is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It handles drought and salt, and it stays evergreen. Butterflies and hummingbirds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Afterglow echeveria, Fox tail agave, and Pink kangaroo paw.
