Statice 'Pink Pokers'

Whimsical and wild statice looks to be a thing of fairytales or a sea-dwelling creature. A very different look but is also earlier and easier to harvest. Plants have mostly basal leaves, which makes the stems easy to locate for cutting, and there are almost no leaves to strip away. Excellent for dried flowers or fresh cuts. Flowers dry beautifully, holding their color well. Also commonly known as Russian statice and rat tail statice.
