Statice 'Midnight Blue' is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Statice 'Midnight Blue' is a desirable annual variety, known for its striking, deep blue-purple flower clusters, reaching up to 7cm across. These papery blooms are produced on strong, slender stems, making them ideal for cut flower arrangements and dried displays. This plant thrives in well-drained, loamy soil and prefers a sunny location. It exhibits good drought and salt tolerance. For optimal germination, sow seeds at 21°C in early spring (temperate areas), late spring (cool areas), or March-April (subtropical regions). Expect blooms 110-120 days after sowing. Deadheading encourages prolonged flowering, though it may self-sow if left unchecked.
