Limonium sinuatum
One of the most undemanding and perfect dried plants.
Whether fresh or decoratively dried, sea lavender looks just as beautiful in flower beds (does well in sandy soil, too), pots or bouquets.
Planted in beds, it lasts for a long time and retains its colour beautifully as it dries out right there – that's as long as it's not too damp.
And bonus: snails leave it alone! Combine it with the beach lilac "Pastel Mix" for lots of colour in your garden.
Height: 30cm to 60cm (12" to 24")
Hardiness: Will come back next year if the winter isn't too harsh. Avoid waterlogging.

Spacing: 30cm (12")

Tip: Cut flowers in full bloom and hang upside down to dry.
