Limonium californicum
Also called California Sea Lavender, California Sealavender
Marsh rosemary is a tough, salt-tolerant perennial from western North American coastal marshes, grown for its sprays of papery lavender flowers. It does best in full sun with moist to wet soil, and its key requirement is tolerance of wet, salty conditions.
Limonium californicum is a species of sea lavender in the family Plumbaginaceae. It is known by the common names western marsh rosemary and California sea lavender.
L. californicum is native to western North America from Oregon to Baja California, with occasional sightings in Nevada and Arizona.
