Climate matters. This page is a practical baseline. Confirm cultivar, local frost/heat conditions, mature size and regional restrictions before planting.

Growing directions
Sow seed 1/8 in deep in moist starting mix; seeds come in a papery casing and germination is slow. Statice prefers cool conditions early in the season. Harvest flower stems for drying when 75% of the florets on each branch have opened. The papery calyces — which hold their color dried — are the ornamental part; the true petals are tiny and brief.
Source and local conditions
Typical planning ranges from OpenPlantDB (CC0). Cultivar, climate, season and growing method can change these values. Confirm the seed label and local guidance before planting.
