Product description
Statice 'Art Shades Mixed' is a versatile and colourful variety that produces an abundance of vibrant blooms in shades of pink, purple, and white. These flowers are perfect for adding a splash of colour to your garden and are equally suitable for fresh or dried flower arrangements. The long-lasting blooms retain their colour and structure even when dried, making them a popular choice for bouquets and craft projects. This hardy annual is easy to grow and thrives in sunny, well-drained locations, providing a reliable display of colour throughout the summer.
To grow Statice 'Art Shades Mixed,' sow seeds indoors from February to April, or directly outdoors from May to June. If sowing indoors, transplant seedlings to their final position after the last frost, ensuring they are spaced 25cm apart to allow for good air circulation. Statice prefers full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and cutting gardens. Regular watering will promote healthy growth, but be careful not to overwater, as Statice does not tolerate waterlogged conditions.
Harvest Statice flowers from July to September when the blooms are fully open. Cut the stems in the morning, and if using for dried arrangements, hang them upside down in a cool, dark place to preserve their vibrant colours. Statice 'Art Shades Mixed' is a low-maintenance plant that rewards you with a stunning display of blooms throughout the summer, making it an excellent addition to any garden.
