Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.

Limonium
'Dazzle Rocks'
sea lavender
Fill your flower beds with frothy waves of mauve using this incredible new statice variety, Limonium 'Dazzle Rocks'. This exceptional sea lavender is tide turning, thanks to expert breeding which makes it ultra-prolific, long-lasting and much hardier than the more traditional varieties. Even is winter temperatures fall below -25°C, in a free draining soil this resilient perennial will stand its ground and return for a repeat show the following year. Wiry, upright stems support a mass of tiny, papery blooms throughout most of summer. Requiring very little in terms of maintenance, Limonium 'Dazzle Rocks' really is a dream plant.
An impressively long flowering period makes Limonium 'Dazzle Rocks' a worthy addition to any sun-soaked border or patio container. Not only do the flowers last well in the garden, but they also have everlasting potential in a vase too. Even once the colour has faded, the spectacular, flower-filled stems of Limonium gmelinii 'Dazzle Rocks' can be used in dried flower arrangements. Growing to a fairly compact height of up to 40cm, this hardy perennial is perfect for weaving through the middle of a border in rippling drifts.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
