The
most widely used everlastings, statice has a large flower head
of small, papery blooms on stiff stems. The small flowers are
held in dense, large clusters above the gray-green foliage. They
are unsurpassed for fresh and dried arrangements. Statice is easy
to grow and salt tolerant. Seeds can be started indoors 6-8 weeks
before planting or sown directly outdoors. Division may be done
in early to late spring or root cuttings can be taken in mid-winter
and grown indoors or in a coldframe until spring. It is resistant
to deer and will bloom all summer long.
