Organic Statice (Limonium)
Statice has been cultivated since the mid-17th century as a garden flower, but also as an herb which was used for the treatment of dysentery as well as other ailments.
Statice produces its flowers in the brightly coloured bracts which grow atop the stiff angular stems. Ideal bedding plant and useful for cut or dried flowers.
How to Grow
If you are a fan of indoor cut flowers and dried arrangements, you may find that growing statice in outdoor beds provides you with an ample supply of this popular filler plant. Start seeds of statice flowers indoors, eight to 10 weeks before the last frost date. Statice plant care may involve a hardening off period in cold temperatures when plants are three to eight weeks old, providing a more productive plant with earlier blooms. Blooms develop in mid to late summer. The history of the statice flower indicates the bluish purple color has long been the most popular when using statice as cut flowers. However, cultivars of statice are now found in whites, yellows, pinks, violet and orange colors.
