Description: Limonium perezii 'White Star' is a hardy evergreen perennial renowned for its clusters of delicate, papery white flowers that bloom from spring through autumn. Emerging from lilac buds, these blooms rise above a rosette of large, leathery, blue-green leaves, creating a striking contrast. Native to the Canary Islands, 'White Star' thrives in Melbourne's climate, particularly in full sun and well-drained soils. Its resilience to drought, salt spray, and heat makes it an excellent choice for coastal gardens, rockeries, and waterwise landscapes. The flowers are long-lasting, making them ideal for fresh and dried arrangements. Low maintenance and tolerant of mild frosts, this plant adds year-round interest with its unique foliage and extended blooming period.
