Add item to quote to see pricing

Limonium vulgare is an enchanting perennial commonly known as Sea-lavender. This robust variety reaches 30-60 cm high and is truly at home within coastal areas, boasting an impressive tolerance for salty conditions. Its semi-evergreen, lanceolate leaves form a unique basal rosette at the plant's base, providing a remarkable contrast to the whimsical spray of tiny lavender-blue flowers that don the tips from July through September. Fully sun-loving, this species is also admirably resistant to drought, proving its sturdiness in less than favorable conditions. Recognized widely for the lengthy lifespan of its blooms, the Sea-lavender's papery flowers offer lasting beauty, bringing an enduring touch of grace to both fresh and dried flower arrangements. Remarkably low maintenance, convincingly resilient, and undeniably captivating, the Limonium vulgare is the quintessential addition to any coastal or inland garden, promising charm that spans seasons.
