statice

Statice should be watered regularly, about once a week. To water, make sure to water thoroughly for a few minutes, allowing the soil to become completely saturated. Allow the soil to dry out slightly before watering again. During warmer months, it may need to be watered more frequently, as the soil may dry out quicker. Additionally, during the summer Statice may benefit from weekly misting with a spray bottle.

Statice requires full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, to produce the best growth and flowering. It will grow in partial shade but will produce fewer flowers in those conditions. If planted in a partially shaded area, it will need more watering to keep the soil consistently moist. Statice is a hardy plant and can tolerate hotter temperatures. Statice should be planted in the spring after the last frost of the year has passed and it needs to be in a location that receives intense sunlight until the end of summer. Intemperate climates, the fall months may also provide enough sunlight for the plant. In warmer climates, where temperatures remain mild, Statice will do best when planted in the fall or early winter for a winter blooming season.

Statice (Goniolimon tataricum) should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Prune the plant back to the desired shape and size you are looking for. Depending on the size of the plant, cut back the stems to 2 or 3 inches. Cut off any dead or diseased stems. Pruning helps keep the plant healthy and maintains its natural shape. Additionally, deadheading the flowers after flowering also encourages more blooms for the following season.
