Statice, Limonium sinuatum, forms a neat rosette of large, attractive oval leaves, which often turn bronze-red in the sun. In midsummer, frothy masses of purple flowers appear on wiry stems, similar to Gypsophila but stiffer. The flowers gradually dry out on the plants and, though faded, persist into late summer. They make an excellent cut flower for dried arrangements – simply cut them just before they are fully open.

Grow Limonium sinuatum in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Once established it's fairly drought-tolerant, but thrives equally well in better conditions.
