Notes
Statice (Limonium sinuatum) is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Bees visit the violet blue and white blooms. They open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Pink, Creeping thyme, California poppy, and Purple top.
