Overview
A clump forming, tall stemmed evergreen perennial with a shrublike habit. It has glossy leaves and bears small white flowers in summer but its deep blue calyces are much more conspicuous and attractive. It makes a good cut and dried specimen. They can withstand direct sea spray and drought conditions as well - therefore excellent for sandy coastal plantings - especially holiday homes where maintenance may be sporadic.
Soil: Sandy, fertile and well drained soils.
Maintenance: Fertilise in spring with a balance formulation while the flowers are developing.
Diseases: Snails and slugs and occasionally aphids.
Other Species: 150 species in all including L. gmelinii and L. latifolium which are both outstanding.
Comments: Staice is now an obsolete botanical name for these plants but it lingers as a common name. L. latifolium is illustrated here.
