Growing Instructions:
Planting Time: Direct sow in the garden after the last frost or start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last frost for earlier blooms.
Planting Depth and Spacing: Plant seeds about 1/8-inch deep, and space plants about 12-15 inches apart to allow for good air circulation.

Care and Maintenance: Statice is relatively low-maintenance but benefits from occasional pruning to remove dead flowers. This encourages new blooms and better air circulation.
Winter Care: In cooler climates, treat Statice as an annual. In milder climates, it may self-seed and return year after year.
