Statice--A Beauty in the Garden that can be Dried for Arrangements

White "true" flowers grow inside the papery bracts.

Statice is a drought tolerant plant for your #waterwise garden.  This plant likes sun, well drained soil and gets by with very little supplemental water. The colorful bracts which hold small white flowers sit on tall stalks which can be cut and dried.  In many California gardens, this can be a perennial.
