“Sea Foam Statice originates from the Mediterranean, where it thrives in coastal areas with sandy soils. Its scientific name, Limonium, is derived from the Greek word 'leimon,' meaning meadow. Often referred to as 'Everlasting' due to its durability in dried arrangements, this plant gained popularity in Victorian gardens as a symbol of remembrance. Modern statice varieties have been bred for more vibrant colors and consistent blooming.”
