German Statice is an herbaceous perennial that produces tall flower stalks along with foliage that is on a low mound. The texture of the German Statice is extremely fine and delicate. The plumes are airy and are white star-shaped flowers that have rose colored eyes at the ends of the stems, blooming from mid to late Summer. The flowers make excellent cuttings. The foliage on this plant are oval and are bluish-green in color. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, but does require occasional pruning to look its best. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies. Best used for mass planting or even just for general garden use.

German Statice will grow to be about 12 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 inches. It grows at a medium rate. It prefers dry to average moisture levels along with well-drained soil. It will die in standing water, so it is considered to be drought-tolerant.
