Statice 'Pink Pokers'

Pink Pokers – (Limonium suworowii)

Also known as Rat Tail Statice, Russian Statice, or Sworow’s Statice

Charming and unexpected, Pink Pokers sends up tall, feathery spires of rosy pink that sway and dance in the summer breeze. Each bloom spike is made of hundreds of tiny flowers, creating the look of soft bottlebrushes dusted in blush. This variety has a playful elegance — perfect for adding height, movement, and a touch of whimsy to arrangements.

In the garden, Pink Pokers thrives in sunny, well-drained spots, tolerating heat and dry spells with ease. Their unusual form and enduring colour make them equally suited to fresh vases or dried work. They stand as a reminder that beauty comes not only in blooms, but in texture and form as well.
