Sea Lavender is an upright plant with dandelion-like leaves that grows
to 16 inches tall and 12 inches across. It has clusters of small,
papery flowers that bloom at ends of stems in summer and early fall,
and are especially good for drying. The brightly colored, flat flower
clusters are sought after for use as a dried material. The flowers have
a papery texture and hold their color well. They may also be used in
arrangements as a fresh flower. Best growth occurs when the plants are
exposed to full sun and are planted in well-drained soil. Statice will
tolerate heat and drought as well as salt spray.
