Limonium Gougetianum

Sprays of tubular, pale violet blooms open in early summer on clumps of leaves which are arranged in rosettes, on this unusual "Sea Lavender" which is ideal for a hot sunny spot. Flowers are tubular with a persistent coloured calyx and a five lobed corolla, and are quite papery in nature, giving them a long flowering period and making them useful for cutting and drying. An unusual plant from the Balearic Islands and Algeria, where it is sometimes found in salt marshes. Very few good seeds collected.
