Sea Lavender

Limonium Perezii

Design with this plant

Overview

Sea Lavender, Limonium perezii, is a robust perennial showcasing clusters of purple flowers atop 18-inch tall stems, with a spread of 2-3 feet. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest. Thriving in USDA zones 9-11, it requires full sun and well-drained soil. Tolerant of salt and drought, it's ideal for coastal landscapes. Its low maintenance and long-lasting blooms, from summer to fall, make it perfect for cut flower arrangements and border plantings.
