How To Grow
If starting indoors, sow statice seeds 6-8 weeks before end of frost season. Press seeds into the soil of seed trays or packs and lightly sprinkle with peat moss. Statice seeds can also be sown directly outdoors: sow into prepared seedbeds after all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds in groups of 3-4 spaced 16-20 inches apart. Keep seeds moist but not wet until germination, which occurs in 10-21 days. Thin seedlings to the strongest plant. Once established, these plants are fairly drought tolerant, and will thrive in a hot and sunny location.
