Description
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.

Useful information
-
Soak the Limonium 'Dazzle Rocks' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Sea lavender" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
