Limonium sinuatum 'Forever Rose' is a beautiful selection with light carmine pink flowers of the Statice with sinuous leaves. It is a frost-tender bushy perennial plant grown as an annual, originally from the Mediterranean. It offers panicles of tiny papery-textured flowers that lighten up borders and floral arrangements throughout the summer. Highly regarded in fresh or dried bouquets, they retain their colour for a long time. Annual statice thrives in sunny, well-drained, light soil that is not too dry in summer.
Limonium sinuatum 'Forever Rose' (synonym Statice sinuata), commonly known as Sinuous Saladelle, is derived from a Mediterranean herbaceous plant of the Plumbaginaceae family. This bushy species has an upright and somewhat stiff habit. The 'Forever Rose' cultivar forms flowering clumps 70cm (28in) in height and 30cm (12in) in diameter. The plant develops a dense basal rosette composed of oblong, highly undulate, lanceolate, bright green, deciduous leaves. From July to September, winged flowering stems appear, branched, adorned with a few small leaves, which bear clusters of 8 to 10cm (3 to 4in) at their tips, containing tiny flowers whose bracts, with papery texture, are coloured light carmine pink. The flower itself is much more discreet, almost invisible. The flowering is nectariferous. The fruit is a capsule containing a single seed. This plant readily self-seeds in light soil.
Sinuous Statice is undoubtedly one of the easiest flowers to dry, simply by cutting the longest possible stems, hanging them upside down in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. They retain their colours for a long time, which soften slightly. 'Forever Rose' statice also helps to lighten up borders alongside more massive blooms (roses, peonies...). Statice can be combined with pink yarrows and Russian sage, for example.

Botanical data
Sow the 'Forever Rose' Statice seeds in February/March in a greenhouse, mini-greenhouse, or in a heated room, at home, on the surface of a good potting soil and cover with vermiculite or a thin layer of potting soil. Germination takes 7 to 14 days at 18-24°C (64.4-75.2°F).
Transplant the sufficiently developed young plants into small pots, spacing them 5cm (2in) apart, at slightly lower temperature. Gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting them in the ground, after the frost, in deep, well-drained soil. Space the plants 30cm (12in) apart.
Statice plants are truly easy to grow. They thrive in full sun, in well-drained, sandy, and dry soil. They tolerate sea spray and strong winds, making them perfect candidates for coastal gardens. Planting is done in spring, on warmed soil. Once in place, simply remove the faded flowers, as this stimulates the appearance of new ones. At the end of the season, if you wish to try to preserve the statice, cut back the stems.
Like many Mediterranean plants, Statice is highly drought-resistant, but it needs water to bloom well in summer. In its original region, it blooms before the arrival of summer drought. This plant does not appreciate humidity, which makes it susceptible to Botrytis, grey rot.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
