The queen of dried flowers. Easily overlooked for use in fresh bouquet work (but don’t, it’s wonderful as a fresh cut flower). Pretty little papery flowers that bloom all summer long, very productive, and super easy to grow. This particular sea lavender statice is a lot more airy and delicate then the bog standard (but equally lovely statice).

Notes From The Garden
...
This is a perennial statice - so you got to play the long game. But for its delicate airiness and the reliability of a perennial (grow and forget, no faffing re-sowing every year) it's a real winner in my eyes.
Plants will flower in the 2nd year.
