Statice

Statice 'Robert Butler' is an unmistakable perennial that brings softness and airiness to flower beds. The original species grow wild in the steppe regions of southern Europe, which is why it appreciates full sun and well-drained soil in the garden as well. It is an exceptionally hardy plant; it can handle severe frosts and does not suffer from diseases or pests. The grown seedling you will receive from us simply needs to be transplanted into the flower bed with a spacing of forty centimeters. During July and August, richly branched stems grow from a basal rosette of leathery leaves. These bear veil-like panicles with thousands of tiny lavender-colored flowers. In flower beds, it functions as a great filler plant and reliably attracts bees. Florists swear by it. The flowers are perfectly suited for cutting into summer bouquets, adding volume to them. If you want to preserve its purple beauty for the winter, statice is ideal for drying. You simply need to collect the stems when the little flowers are fully colored.
