Growing Statice from Seed
Statice can be grown from seed sown directly in the garden after all frost danger has passed.
- Sow Limonium Indoors in early Spring.
- Limonium seeds require complete darkness for germination so after you sow and water them, cover the pots (or tray) with a few layers of newspaper.
- If the seeds are kept warm at 70°-75°, they will begin to germinate in as little as 3-5 days.
- Once the majority of seeds have sprouted, remove the cover and move your plants to a sunny window.
- Thin and transplant the seedlings when the first ‘true’ leaves appear.
- Plant outdoors after all dangers of frost has passed.
