Limonium perezii
Also called Canary Sea Lavender
Perez's sea lavender is a tough perennial from the coasts of the Canary Islands, grown for its rosettes of thick leaves and long-lasting lavender flower sprays. It is best kept in full sun with sharp drainage, as it tolerates salt and wind but dislikes wet roots.
Limonium perezii is a species of Limonium known by the common names Perez's sea lavender and seafoam statice. It is also known as simply statice (reflecting the former name of the genus), sea lavender or marsh rosemary (common names for the genus). It is native to the coasts of the Canary Islands but are widely used in gardens throughout the world.
