From seed  |
I grew this from commercial seed, but have never managed to grow new plants from seed collected in my garden.
|
A light blue cousin of statice, with similar airy habit and utility as a cutflower and for drying. Good for August blue, when most of the colors in the garden are in the yellow-red range.
|
Autumn color shines through in November, after the flowers have faded.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. One or more images of this plant are included in my stock photo catalog About my plant portraits
