Productinformation
Statice or limonium sinuatum Apricot
We grow statice for their airy, but strong stems to add to bouquets. It’s an easy-to-grow plant that you can also dry very well, and use as a dried flower in the winter. The colors of the flowers preserve very well and the stems are very strong. This Apricot is an improved cut flower type but you can also use this plant in the garden.

How to grow statice Apricot from seed
You can start statice apricot seeds 4 to 6 weeks before your last expected frost date. You can start them in 77 cell seed trays or bigger. If you start them in small cells you will have to pot them over to larger pots, but the initial space to germinate seeds is much smaller, taking less space. As soon as you have acclimatized the plants and the danger of frost has passed you can plant them on their final spot. Support is not needed but it will keep the plants tidier. If you like to use the flowers as cut flowers you can cut them when the flowers are about to open. If you pick the flowers too soon they will not open in the vase. Flowers will stay fresh for more than 10 days!
