FFF626 - LIMONIUM

Limonium peregrinum, perennial pink statice (or sea lavender), is a relatively rare, hardy perennial with brilliant pink papery flowers on erect stems, which bloom for months above a rounded mound of evergreen leathery green leaves. Ideal for dry and exposed gardens where water is scarce.

Plant in well drained soil, fertilising is not necessary, and it will tolerate sandy soils. Allow soil to dry between thorough watering. It is tolerant of seaside conditions.

Limonium peregrinum is the largest and most showy of the sea lavenders. The flower petals are magenta with the calyx (outer envelope of the flower) dull pink and paper-like when dry. They remain present for a long time and are highly decorative.
