How to recognise it

Papery, winged, ridged stems typical of statice
Small funnel-shaped flowers clustered in branching sprays
Calyx (papery part) holds colour, true petal is small and pale inside
Lance-shaped basal leaves, often sparse on the cut stem
Dry, slightly crisp texture even when fresh

Care

Strip any foliage that would sit in water to avoid rot. Recut stems and place in clean water with flower food; it tolerates lower water levels well as it is naturally drought-resistant. Not sensitive to ethylene. Keep away from direct heat; it also dries very well if left out of water.
