Sea Lavender
Limonium perezii
Sea Lavender is a rugged and statuesque perennial that brings long-lasting color and exceptional drought tolerance to coastal and Mediterranean gardens. It forms a bold basal rosette of large, leathery, dark green leaves. From summer into fall, it sends up numerous, branching, wiry stems topped with dense clusters of tiny, papery, violet-blue flowers. These blooms are not only vibrant in the garden but also hold their color perfectly when dried, making them a premier choice for everlasting floral arrangements. Tough, salt-tolerant, and carefree, it thrives where other plants struggle.
