Limonium Pink Statice

Common Name:
Pink Statice

Description:
Pink Statice (Limonium sinuatum) is a vibrant annual or short-lived perennial prized for its clusters of papery, rose-pink flowers that bloom profusely throughout the warmer months. These blooms are borne on tall, slender stems above a basal rosette of green to grey-green leaves, creating a striking display in garden beds and borders. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Pink Statice is drought-tolerant once established, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate. Its long-lasting flowers are ideal for fresh bouquets and are particularly valued for dried arrangements, retaining their colour and form for extended periods. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, ensuring a lively garden presence from late spring to early autumn.
