Limonium roseum (Pink Statice) is an evergreen perennial shrub producing large, beautiful bright, rose-pink showy flower heads of small papery blooms in dense, large clusters above the green foliage, and will bloom all summer long. They are unsurpassed for fresh and dried floral arrangements.
Statice is easy to grow and hardy, forming a low rounded shrub and being salt tolerant and able to endure dry conditions and inland frosts alike makes it a very versatile plant suitable for many situations. This is one of the finest dwarf shrubs for a dry climate. Ideal as a border, for mass bedding, cut flowers, and dried arrangements. A great addition to any style of garden and a magnificent potted specimen.
Fertilizing is not necessary. Allow soil to dry between thorough waterings. Light, sandy soil with excellent drainage. Tolerant of seaside conditions (hence the alternative name "sea lavender").
