Purple Statice / Sea Lavender Limonium Sinuatum Flower Seeds

Statice is a Mediterranean native herb that has been grown since the 17^th century both for its lovely flowers and its medicinal properties. Statice is a favorite of florists because the lovely clusters of flowers last an extremely long time after they are cut.

Papery flowers are considered to be ‘everlasting’ flowers because they dry so well and their colors do not fade when they are dried. Limonium plants bear huge amounts of flowers that are sweetly fragrant.

They can tolerate heat, dryness, & coastal conditions with ease, They grow quickly, so while they are not hardy in most zones, they are a very popular choice as an annual in cooler climates. They are also deer resistant.
