Statice - Atlantis - (35x Seeds)

We post to QLD, NSW, ACT, VIC and SA including regional areas. We are unable to post to WA, NT, TAS or overseas.

Seed sourced from a specialist commercial supplier and packaged by us here at Our Mountain Garden.

This is one I'm really excited to be sharing with you, and adding more to my house garden as well.

Atlantis is a beautiful perennial form of Statice (Limonium perezii), producing gorgeous deep blue-lavender flower heads on strong stems.

It is not commonly available in small quantities for the home gardener, so I was very happy to be able to source this commercial-quality seed and make it available in manageable packets.

It's a wonderful cut flower for both fresh and dried arrangements, and unlike the annual statice we often see, this one is a perennial.

It has a lovely history too - Limonium perezii is a species from the Canary Islands that has been known for well over 100 years, with selected forms such as 'Atlantis' developed for their useful flowering and cut-flower qualities.

Mine grows happily in full sun to part shade/filtered light, and I particularly love using it to fill those spots in and around the house garden. It flowers for much of the year here and keeps producing those beautiful flower stems.

And when I'm making bouquets, I love tucking the stems in flower or even before the buds break open in and around the front edge of the bouquet, where they spill out and give that lovely soft, delicate airy look.

It's also fantastic dried, so you can enjoy the flowers long after the fresh blooms have finished.

Growing Information
Sowing time: Spring to summer (September-February)
Sowing method: The seed is quite fine, so sow it on the surface or cover only very lightly.
Germination: Keep the seed mix evenly moist and give it plenty of light. It isn't an instant germinator like a zinnia or marigold, so give it a little patience - germination can take 1-3 weeks at around 18-22°C.
Position: Full sun to part shade or filtered light.
Spacing: 30-40cm in cutting garden rows, or allow 45-60cm in the open garden - in our own garden the mature rosette easily reaches this width.
Notes: Once established, you're growing a perennial plant that can reward you for years.

Use
A lovely choice for the flower garden, cutting garden or anyone who loves growing their own flowers for bouquets.
