Limonium sinuatum

Description

Plant with lilac flowers in spikes, excellent for cutting and drying. Low-maintenance, drought-resistant and suitable for dry gardens.

Growing tips

Purple statice needs full sunlight, with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun per day, and is ideal for Mediterranean outdoor gardens. Water it sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as it is highly drought-tolerant. Plant it in well-draining, sandy or loamy soil to prevent moisture from accumulating around the roots. It withstands temperatures down to -5 °C, making it a hardy, low-maintenance plant perfect for dry gardens.
