The elegant sprays of German Statice seem to float in the air above the dark-green, waxy leaves that hug the ground. Each plant gets about ten inches in diameter and about a foot tall with multiple flower stems. Because the blooms can spread out up to 18 inches in diameter, it is important to leave air space for them to occupy. The tiny flowers are purple and, as they fall away, they leave behind the fine papery white bracts.

The luminous white bracts of German Statice can be cut into sprays and arranged fresh or dried. Once dried they are difficult to separate so make sure your dried bundles are arranged in usuable configurations for adding to arrangements. The graceful white drape of dried German Statice compliments any color and can be used much like baby’s breath. For example, the vivid pink of Marshall’s Memory Oregano is beautifully highlighted when paired with German Statice.

German Statice makes a great addition to our Crafter’s Herb Garden Six Pack.
