Description

Look deep inside the lavender statice.

Statice is also known as an 'everlasting flower' because its pretty calyx stay on much after the flower has dried.

Statice Flowers come in white, lavender, and pink colors. The tiny funnel-shaped Statice flowers have a delicate, airy, hazy appearance, almost like smoke. Statice bloom in spring and summer. Some species of Statice have an offensive odor. English Statice comes in 1- to 2-inch clusters of Calyxes, each about 1 inch across. Stems are 1 to 1 feet long. Seafoam Statices have smaller calyxes, arched clusters, smooth stems and no foliage. The German Statices' small gray bracts arch backward, while the English Statice feature calyxes that are yellow, white, purple, lavender or pink with tiny white or yellow flowers inside. Latifolia Calyxes are white with blue-violet flowers. Statie Flowers can be spray dried with a fixative. Sea Lavender does not like wet feet while dormant, and is not ethylene sensitive.


The name of the genus, Limonium is an ancient Greek name, derived from the word meadow, referring to the plant's original habitat. Other names used for various Statice species include Misty, Latifolia, Sea Foam and Caspia.
￿ Statice flowers are used extensively for border, bed, cut flowers, dried arrangements.
￿ Hybrids between Limonium latifolium (Sea Lavender) and Limonium bellidifolium (Caspia Statice) include Saint Pierre, Beltlaard and the Misty series. They retain much of the airy nature of Caspia Statice, and also Fantasia.
￿ In some varieties of Statice, the flowers are initially just violet when they are first formed, but later on as the flowers mature some of them, in the middle of the bunch, change color and become pure white.
