Limonium sinuatum Forever (mixed) - Waved Sea Lavender seeds

Limonium sinuatum Forever (mixed) is undoubtedly the best mix of statice, offering a wide variety of flowers, in white, pink, lilac, yellow, bright pink, and purple. It is a tender perennial bushy plant grown as an annual, native to the Mediterranean with clouds of tiny paper-like flowers all summer. They are beautiful in borders and rock gardens and valuable in fresh or dried bouquets, where they retain their colour for a long time. Grow in full sun, in well-drained, light soil that is not too dry in summer.

Limonium sinuatum or Statice sinuata, commonly known as Sinuate-leaved Statice, is a Mediterranean herbaceous plant in the Plumbaginaceae family. This erect and somewhat stiff bushy plant forms flowering tufts 70 cm (28in) tall and 30 cm (12in) in diameter. It develops a dense basal rosette composed of oblong, very wavy, lanceolate, bright green, deciduous leaves. From July to September, winged, branched floral stems with a few small leaves appear, bearing clusters measuring 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4in) at their tips, containing tiny flowers whose paper-like bracts are brightly coloured. The actual flower itself is almost invisible. They come in almost all the colours of the rainbow except red, in their vibrant version. The nectar-rich flowers are followed by a capsule containing a single seed. This plant readily self-seeds in light soil.

Sinuate-leaved statice is undoubtedly one of the easiest flowers to dry; simply cut the stems as long as possible and hang them upside down in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Their colours will soften but be retained for a long time. The plants in the 'Forever' mix also help to lighten borders and rock gardens, alongside more substantial blooms. They can be paired with yarrows and Russian sages, which are also very light and undemanding.
