STATICE SINUATA (DEEP BLUE) 
STATICE SINUATA 
(Everlasting) 
This is one of the best cut flowers for florists as well 
as the private gardens. Is easily and quickly raised 
and flowers continually. The more you cut of the 
flowers, the more it will flower. 
By years of selection and crossing I have pro¬ 
duced some beautiful clean colors in all shades of 
the rainbow and having large flowers on stems 
measuring from two to three feet. 
Statice is to be cut when the flower is just at its 
best. Put up in bunches containing from one to 
two dozen stems to each bunch and hang them 
up in a dark room where they will keep for months. 
These are used during the winter months when 
flowers are scarce. 
Statice is a perennial in localities where only 
light frost occurs but will not stand heavy freezing. 
Directions for Sowing: Sow the seeds in cold 
frames or boxes. Smooth the surface of the soil and 
sprinkle the seeds over it just as they go. Do not 
separate the seeds. Then press them into the soil 
with a smooth board. Cover them very lightly and 
keep them moist. If the atmosphere is very dry it 
is best to cover seeds up with burlap and moisten 
the burlap three or four times each day. The seeds 
will be up in eight to ten days. Leave them in the 
full light as soon as the plants appear. Transplant 
two feet apart as soon as the seedlings have four 
or five leaves.
