Estimated Native Range
Summary
Goniolimon tataricum, commonly known as German Statice, is an evergreen perennial herb native to rocky slopes and coastal areas in Southeastern Europe, including the Balkans and the North Caucasus. It typically grows to a height and width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters), forming dense clumps. The plant features narrow, grass-like leaves and erect stems topped with clusters of tiny flowers that range in color from blue to pink, purple, and white, blooming in the summer. The flowers are highly valued for their papery texture and long-lasting quality in both fresh and dried floral arrangements.
German Statice is appreciated for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. It is commonly used in rock gardens, as a border plant, and for ground cover due to its compact growth habit. It is also a popular choice in the cut flower industry for its showy and durable blooms. For optimal growth, it requires full sun exposure and well-drained soil. While generally disease-resistant, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly draining soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
