Also known as Statice or Sea Lavender. This beautiful blue flower is a very useful and ever-popular plant both for the abundance of colour it brings during summer to the border and, being amongst the most popular of everlasting flowers, for providing dried flowers for winter decoration. A fast-growing half-hardy annual, they are also good for growing in pots for flowering under glass. Super easy, they are a great choice for beginners. Sow February-April under glass, flowers July-September.
