Limonium sinuatum is commonly known as Statice. It is a prized annual for not only its color in the flower border but it makes an excellent cut flower adding wonderful color to bouquets. It dries well for dried arrangements as well and is considered to be an everlasting. This variety, American Beauty, has blooms in shades rose. It's a great addition to the summer garden! Sow Statice seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost. For areas with a long growing season, Statice seed can be sown directly outdoors in a prepared seed bed. Cover the seed lightly with peat moss. Keep seed moist until germination. With a temperature of 68 - 75F, germination is usually within 21 days. Space the plants 16 - 20 inches apart. Grow this annual in full sun and in moist, well-draining soil. Statice is usually resistant to deer.
