Statice 'Seeker Rose Shades'

Seeker Rose  (Limonium Sinuatum)

Also known as Statice, Sea Lavender, or Wavyleaf Sea Lavender

A soft blush settles over the summer garden with the arrival of Seeker Rose. Each airy cluster carries a gentle rose-pink hue, evoking the glow of a warm dawn or the flush of vintage silk. Its papery blooms hold their colour with remarkable grace, drying to the same tender tone they display in life.

Beloved by florists for its romantic palette, Seeker Rose tucks beautifully into fresh bouquets, yet holds pride of place in everlasting wreaths and keepsakes. In the garden, its sturdy stems and silver-green foliage stand through wind and sun, thriving in heat and lean soils. For those who love flowers that whisper of romance and endure through time, Seeker Rose is a perfect choice.

HOW TO GROW:

Transplant (recommended): Sow seeds into your preferred seedling containers 5–6 weeks before you plan to move them outdoors. Light aids germination, so cover the seeds just enough to hold them in place with a very fine layer of soil or vermiculite. Once the seedlings emerge, provide a temperature of 16°C  for 1–2 weeks to encourage strong root development. Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for 7–10 days before transplanting them into the garden after all danger of frost has passed.

Direct Seeding (not recommended): Direct seeding is generally not recommended for Limonium sinuatum, as starting indoors gives you a much better success rate and an earlier bloom time.

Soil Preference and Watering: Limonium thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil. It is highly tolerant of sandy or lean soils and will not tolerate being waterlogged. Water consistently during germination and establishment. Once mature, it is very drought-tolerant.

Pinching and Fertilizing: Pinching is not typically necessary for Limonium. Deadheading spent flowers will encourage a longer blooming season. It is a light feeder; amending the soil with compost before planting is usually sufficient. Over-fertilizing can lead to weak, floppy growth.
