Description
Sea Lavender is one of the best-known dried flower varieties at all. It's a perennial shrub that originates from the Mediterranean region and loves to grow in dry, rather meagre, and sunny locations. Indeed, it has already been cultivated as a decorative plant in Germany since 1600. If you cut the flowers before they blossom fully, they can be dried and used for dried flower arrangements very well.
The variety 'Pastel Mix' blooms in different, rather cool pink to purple pastel shades. You'll receive a diversified colour mix in the flower bed. Statice is a good companion plant for roses. They also harmonise excellently with baby's breath and the strawflower in the neighborhood.
