Cultivation method:
For best results, sow seeds directly into the garden in mid-May, after the last frost. If you want an early start, start seeds indoors 8 weeks before planting outdoors. Use plantable fiber pots, such as Jiffy 7's, as statice does not graft well. Sow seeds on the surface without covering them and maintain a temperature of 75°F for best germination in 20 to 25 days.
After germination, grow on at 15°C until hardened off, then transplant to a location in full sun, spacing the plants as needed for full development.
Add a lasting and elegant touch to your floral arrangements with 'Art Shades' statice.
