Cut Flower
Seeker White Statice is a clean, uniformly branching statice cultivar that reaches 24 to 30 inches tall, producing delicate white flowers ideal for both fresh and dried arrangements. Part of the Plumbaginaceae family, this open-pollinated variety takes 110 to 120 days from transplant to harvest, rewarding patient growers with airy, long-lasting stems that hold their color beautifully whether displayed in water or hung to dry. Its compact spacing needs of just 8 inches between plants make it efficient to grow, even in modest garden spaces.

Seeker White delivers exceptional uniformity in plant structure and flower development, a trait that professional growers and home gardeners alike depend on for predictable, gallery-quality cut flower harvests. The flowers reach peak harvestability when individual blooms are mostly open and showing color, making them simple to judge at a glance. Once dried, these stems retain their form and color for months, earning their place in both fresh arrangements and dried bouquets that outlast seasonal trends.
Seeker White Statice excels as a fresh cut flower, bringing airy texture and lasting presence to bouquets and arrangements. Its real strength emerges when dried: hang bunches in a warm, dry space and you'll have garden-grown stems ready for winter arrangements, wreaths, or long-term display without the fade that often plagues dried flowers. The long stems and fine branching habit make it especially valuable for florists and home arrangers seeking filler material with substance.
Sow seeds into 50-cell flats or preferred seedling containers 5 to 6 weeks before your last frost date. Cover seeds just enough to hold them in place, as light aids germination. After seedlings emerge, maintain temperatures around 60°F (16°C) for 1 to 2 weeks to encourage rooting development.
Harden off transplants gradually before planting out after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 8 inches apart in their permanent garden location.
Direct seeding is not recommended for this variety.
Harvest for fresh arrangements when individual flowers are mostly open and showing color. Cut stems in the early morning for maximum vase life. For dried arrangements, harvest at the same stage of bloom, then hang bunches upside down in a warm, dry location until fully dried, which typically takes 2 to 3 weeks depending on humidity.
