I think I planted them too late because they have recovered well but haven't flowered. We'll have to wait until next summer.

Description
Goniolimon tataricum, also known as limonium or perennial statice, is a light and airy plant, highly ornamental when its long stems with cloud-like inflorescences composed of hundreds of small blue-lilac flowers appear in summer. It forms beautiful, evergreen, rounded and regular rosettes on a woody stump. It prefers sandy, porous, dry, well-drained soil and a sunny exposure. This plant, highly appreciated for making dried bouquets and very useful by the seaside, is also hardy and easy to grow.
The perennial Tartarian statice belongs to the family Plumbaginaceae. The steppes of Southeast Europe, the Caucasus, Russia, and North Africa are the birthplaces of this plant. It is a perennial herbaceous plant that forms dense, ground-hugging rosettes. It reaches a height of 40cm (16in) when in flower and slowly expands like a tight cushion over an area of 40cm (16in) on the ground. In July-August, tall, ramified stems appear, carrying light corymbs composed of tiny paper-like flowers. The plant then transforms into an incredible blue-lavender cloud. The foliage is evergreen, with lanceolate rounded leaves, a beautiful dark green colour with bluish reflections, sometimes turning red in cases of drought. It anchors itself on a buried central stump, which allows it to store water and nutrients to survive in dry or very salty soil.
Goniolimon tataricum is a long-lasting perennial, adapted to difficult conditions, and irreplaceable in dry gardens, rockeries, perennial borders that it brightens, gardens with shallow soil, in rocks, or by the seaside. This plant produces flower stems that make admirable dried bouquets. It can accompany the summer blooms of Anthemis carpatica 'Karpatenschnee', sea thrifts, Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam', Helichrysum italicum, hyssops, oreganos, and Talinum calycinum, a rare pink flower that blooms continuously. It will enhance old roses, the somewhat heavy blooms of oriental poppies, or the candles of acanthus and hybrid mulleins. In a light border, it can be paired with Linaria 'Canon Went', Centaurea atropurpurea or pulcherrima, Knautia macedonica, or the majestic Geranium psilostemon.

Planting and care
Goniolimon tataricum is a very cold-resistant plant growing in any well-drained soil, sandy or stony, preferably in full sun in humid regions. A top-dressing with gravel facilitates the appearance of numerous spontaneous seedlings and preserves the collar of the plant from excessive soil moisture. It does not have any particular requirement for soil pH and tolerates limestone well. In poor soil, this plant appreciates a slight addition of organic fertilizer during the development of flower stems. This perennial statice does not appreciate transplantations, which if necessary should be done early in autumn or in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
