QIS Pale Blue Statice Seed
Unique sky-blue color.
Bloom color is lighter and more "true blue" than Seeker Blue or QIS Blue, and holds beautifully when dried. In our trials, QIS Pale Blue is slower to fully flower than other varieties. Plants produce 1 1/2–3" flower clusters on strong stems. Statice is long-lasting for both fresh and dried bouquets. One of the best choices for a dried floral as it holds its color well and is easy to dry. Also known as wavyleaf sea lavender.Specs:
