Description
Often our flower field is a sea of pink, peach and apricot shades. They are the colours we're drawn to. So we're delighted to include this apricot coloured delight in our catalogue. Along with strawflowers, they are our top dried flower for beginners because they are so productive and easy to dry down. Harvest when flowers are fully out, tie in bunches and hang upside down to dry. Sturdy flowers to work with fresh or dry.
Originating from the Mediterranean, statice is extremely drought and heat tolerant. We find it an easy plant to grow, even in wet summers.
Sow: Sow undercover in April or outside direct in May. Benefits from warm soil.
Plant: 4 weeks after sowing
Harvest: July-September. Pick when flowers are full open. Stems 60cm or longer.
Vase: Can be used fresh or dry. To dry, strip off foliage, tie in a bunch and hang upside down. Flower colours will intensify.
