Limonium 'Salt Lake'

 

Sea Lavender 'Salt Lake'

Original:'Salt Lake' has dense, graceful sprays of dainty, papery everlasting flowers in strong shades. Retain colours well when dried. New:Sea-lavenders normally grow as herbaceous perennial plants, growing 70 cm tall from a rhizome. They are cultivated in gardens for their flowers and for the appearance of the calyx, which remains on the plant after the true flowers have fallen, and are known as "everlasting flowers". Limonium peregrinum is the largest and most showy of the sea lavenders. The flower petals are magenta with the calyx (outer envelope of the flower) dull pink and paper-like when dry. They remain present for a long time.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Plant Limonium in full sun in a south-facing position. They’re not fussy plants and will tolerate both acid and alkaline soils, although they do prefer a sandy soil. They will also do well planted against a south facing wall.
