Hipster Apricot Statice is a striking cultivar of Limonium sinuatum prized for its warm, unusual apricot and coral flower tones. This open-pollinated variety grows as a compact bush reaching 24 to 30 inches tall and produces abundant flowers ready to harvest in 110 to 120 days from transplanting. Both fresh and dried, these delicate blooms hold their color beautifully, making them a favorite among florists and home gardeners who appreciate something beyond the typical statice palette.

The warm apricot and coral shades of this newer variety offer a refreshing departure from traditional statice colors. These flowers dry exceptionally well while retaining their soft, warm tones, and they perform equally beautifully in fresh arrangements. The compact, bushy habit keeps plants tidy in the garden while producing abundant stems suitable for cutting.
Hipster Apricot Statice excels as a cut flower, whether you're filling a vase with fresh stems or hanging bundles to dry for long-lasting arrangements. The warm apricot coloring pairs well with complementary blooms and adds depth to mixed bouquets. Dried flowers retain their color beautifully, making them ideal for wreaths, pressed flower projects, and dried arrangements that last for months.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Sow seeds into 50-cell flats or preferred seedling containers 5 to 6 weeks before your last spring frost. Light aids germination; cover seeds just enough to hold them in place. After seedlings emerge, maintain temperatures around 60°F (16°C) for 1 to 2 weeks to encourage rooting.
Harden off plants and transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Space plants 8 inches apart.
Direct seeding is not recommended for this variety.
Cut flowers when the individual blooms are mostly open and showing their full apricot and coral color. For fresh arrangements, harvest in the morning and condition stems in water. For drying, harvest at the same stage of color development and hang bundles upside down in a warm, dry, well-ventilated space until completely dry.
