Statice - Pastel Mix 6-Pack
Statice is very papery and architectural, adding support, interest and a wide variety of colours to the garden and bouquet.
We love this pastel mix (the apricot is so pretty right?). The colours look pretty as a bunch on their own, and can add a little softness to a bold dahlia bouquet. We also dry tons of this for our dried floral artwork each year.
These plants will take their time getting started, but by June they’ll start pumping out the blooms all the way through September!
Six 2” plants/order
Basic Info: 24-36” tall, 24” wide, full sun, annual.

Growing Tips: Plant in a sunny spot. Work lots of compost and organic fertilizer into the planting hole and water well before planting. Put root ball into the hole and bury it up to the first set of leaves. Water deeply once a week.
Landscape: In the landscape, they are colourful, tall and full of bright green foliage that fills out nicely in the backs of borders. These plants can get tall, so supporting with a tomato cage or stake will save them in a storm.
Cutting Garden: Plant them closer together (6-8”) in rows to promote long stems as they stretch for the light. Use plant support netting. Harvest weekly to keep them producing. Water deeply the day before harvest.
Harvesting: Cut your first stem when the flowers are fully open. These plants grow stems from the base of the plant, so cut the stem all the way down at the bottom. The plant will send up more stems the more you harvest. Strip off excess foliage, cut the bottom of the stem on an angle. Let them rest for a few hours in cool water and shade before arranging.
Drying: Hang upside-down in a warm, dry, shaded spot to dry. Check the stems are totally dry before storing to prevent mold.
