Statice - Rose Shades (Limonium sinuatum) Non-GMO - Organically Grown - Flower

 

Type: Annual

 

Description:

Statice ‘Rose Shades’ (Limonium sinuatum) produces delicate, papery blooms in soft to deep pink hues, adding a long-lasting splash of color to gardens and floral arrangements. These airy, clustered flowers sit atop sturdy, branching stems, making them ideal for both fresh and dried bouquets. The plant’s basal rosette of wavy, dark green leaves provides an attractive contrast to the tall flower spikes. Highly drought-tolerant and easy to grow, Statice is a favorite among pollinators, especially bees and butterflies.

 

Cultivation Instructions:

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy or loamy soil with moderate fertility. A pH between 6.0 and 7.5 is ideal.

• Light: Thrives in full sun.

• Watering: Low to moderate water needs; allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

• Fertilization: Apply a light, balanced fertilizer once at planting and again mid-season if needed. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can reduce flowering.

• Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to ensure good airflow.

• Pruning: Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering.

 

Stratification & Germination:

• Germination Temperature: 65-75°F

• Stratification: Not required.

• Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or direct sow after the danger of frost has passed.

• Depth: Sow seeds ⅛ inch deep and lightly cover with soil.

• Moisture: Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days.

Seed count: 25

Statice ‘Rose Shades’ is a low-maintenance and reliable choice for cut flower gardens, border plantings, and xeriscapes, providing long-lasting beauty both in the garden and in dried arrangements.
