The QIS (Quality In Seed) series of varieties brings the very best of cut flower breeding to growers. These varieties offer excellence in uniformity, stem strength, bloom size and colour.

Statice is an invaluable summer filler flower; long-lasting in the vase and an excellent dried flower. It's very attractive to pollinators too - especially to butterflies!

Sow under cover six weeks before your last frost date; cover sparingly as light aids germination. Sowing temp 18-21°C; germination between 5-14 days in optimum conditions. Do not pinch. 

Cut when 50-75% of the flower head is open; stems cut in bud will not hydrate properly. Place immediately into water; no special conditioning required. If drying, strip away any green leaves from the stem and hang upside down to dry. 

Vase life: 14 days fresh; will last indefinitely when dried.
