Traditional Statice - Mauve

Limonium sinuatum

Some people may say that this flower is old fashioned, but that makes me love it even more.  It is such a fantastic dried flower and it will always be classic cottage garden favourite.  I find it a particularly important one to have around because I use it as a supporting flower, similarly to yarrow, alongside my strawflowers, which are usually the focal flower.

This is also for people who love colour.  I don't think that I have any other flower for drying that is this lovely shade of mauve.  So it really makes a big difference to have some on hand when I want to make something really colourful and cheerful.  

Statice looks fantastic on its own in a vase and is an endearing flower, I think, because of its popularity over the years.  It has been and will always be a timeless variety.  This was also the first flower for drying that I grew from seed in my own garden, so it will always be extra special to me.
