Statice is one of those classics you might remember from your grandmother's garden, but it’s making a big comeback today. We grow them by the hundreds here because they are incredibly useful as filler material for bouquets. Their tiny flowers add volume and texture to any arrangement, and they also last a remarkably long time in a vase even without being dried.
Once statice is in full bloom, it basically doesn't wilt. That makes it a reliable staple for drying, winter crafts, wreaths, or small boutonnieres. Once dried, the flowers beautifully retain their original colors. These plants thrive best in full sun in well-drained soil. Most varieties handle summer heat well and are not prone to pests.
Growing your own plants isn't complicated at all. Before you get started, you can check out our guide on how to sow correctly. Once you find a bright spot for the seedlings, they will reward you with a bountiful harvest of stems all season long.
