All the glorious colors that have made this Statice the gardener's choice for fresh or dried arrangements--as well as garden display! Apricot, light and dark blue, purple, rose, yellow, and white--this mix contains them all, for a wonderful mixed planting or bouquets of every description!
Statice is a glorious Everlasting, truly deserving of the name since it holds its rich color for years when dried, and the Soiree Improved series is the best of the annual Statice! Dense, papery flowerheads simply cover the uniform 2-foot plants all summer long, leaving you with the problem of whether to cut it at first bloom for dried use or let it revel in full glory in the summer sun! Either way, Soiree never disappoints!
Easy to grow in full sun, it is not picky about soil type provided the drainage is adequate. Plants are superb for the border or bed, and indispensible for the cutting garden!
To dry, simply cut the stem at desired height (or cut the entire plant at the base), remove the foliage, and hang the branch upside-down in a well-ventilated, dry location.
Pkt is 100 seeds.
Flowers are popular for cutting use, both fresh and dried, and plants make a nice addition to border designs. Plant habit is upright to 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide. Flowers appear over a long time-period from early to late summer. The flower heads are composted of clusters of tiny (half-inch) papery-textured, funnel-shaped individual flowers that come in colors of white, blue, yellow or red. The dark green leaves grow in basil rosettes and are oblong to 6 inches long with deeply lobed, wavy margins. Stems are bright green
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
