Limonium sinuatum 'Pacific Mix', also called sea lavender 'Pacific Mix', is a tender, bushy perennial of Mediterranean origin, that is grown as an annual. All summer long, it displays swarms of tiny papery flowers in a variety of bright shades. They are beautiful in beds and rock gardens and are a precious asset for fresh or dried flower bouquets since their colours don't fade for a long time. Grow in the sun in well-drained, light soil that doesn't dry out too much during the summer.
Â
Limonium sinuatum or Statice sinuata, commonly known as Sea lavender, is a Mediterranean herbaceous plant of the Plumbaginaceae family. This bushy plant has an erect and somewhat stiff-looking growth habit. It forms clumps that reach 80cm in height and 30cm in diameter when in bloom. It develops a dense basal rosette composed of very wavy, lanceolate, deciduous, oblong, green leaves. From July to September, winged, branched flower stems appear, covered with a few small leaves, and whose tips bear 8 to 10cm clusters of tiny flowers surrounded by brightly coloured, papery bracts., The flower itself is much more discreet and is almost invisible. They come in almost all the brightest shades of the rainbow, except red. The bloom is nectar-rich. The fruit is a capsule containing a single seed. This plant self-seeds easily in light soil.
Â
Sea lavender is probably one of the easiest flowers to dry; simply cut the longest flower stems and place them upside down in a cool, dry and ventilated place. Their colours don't fade for a long time, becoming only slightly paler with time. Plants in the 'Pacific' mix can also be used to bring a lighter touch to flowerbeds and rock gardens, next to bolder blooms. They can be combined with yarrow and Russian sage which also have a very airy look about them and are just as frugal.

Botanical data
Sow sea lavender seeds in February/March in a glasshouse, propagator or in a heated room at home, on the surface of good quality compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Germination takes 7-14 days at 18-24 °C. Transplant sufficiently developed seedlings into trays, spacing them 5cm apart and maintain them at a slightly lower temperature. Gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting them out in the open ground, after all risk of frost, in deep, well-drained soil. Space the plants 30 cm apart. Sea lavender plants are really easy to grow. They appreciate sunny positions and well-drained, sandy, dry soil. They can withstand salt-laden winds, making them perfect candidates for seaside gardens. Plant in spring, in warm soil. Once settled, simply remove faded flowers; this stimulates the renewal of blooms. At the end of the season, if you wish to try and keep sea lavender over the winter, cut down the stems. Like many Mediterranean plants, sea lavender is very drought resistant, but needs water to flower well in summer. In its native region, it blooms before summer drought arrives. This plant does not like humidity, which makes it susceptible to Botrytis, grey mould.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
