Question: Where can I get seed of sea-lavender and how should I grow it? Is it annual or perennial? I want to grow it for drying. Can it be grown like celosias? What colors are the flowers? E.L., Ark.
Answer: Sea-lavender, botanically Limonium latifolium, is usually listed under Statice in seed catalogues. This one is perennial. Another is listed as Caspia. The first has blue and the second lilac flowers. Then there are annual varieties of statice that are grown for drying. These come in white, yellow, blue and lavender and can be grown under the same conditions as celosia. Search the web for the best sources.
