| Actually it may be 2 plants. But they are similar other than color. When I bought them they had a label that said 'Russian Sage', but I am pretty sure that they are something else. One has purpley blue flowers and is about 18 inches tall, the other has white flowers and is a bit shorter.

| I forgot to add that it is perennial and hardy to at least Zone 3. |

| Limonium latifolium? BP |

| I believe the plant in the last picture is Limonium sinuatum. |
Here is a link that might be useful: German statice

| I don't think it's L. sinuatum - that has lobed leaves and much more compact flower heads. It is also not reliably hardy to zone 3 (it could be if you have it in a good microclimate though). BP |
|
| The first is Limonium latifolium, aka Sea Lavender. The second is Limonium tartaricum, aka German Statice. |

| Just to be geeky, L. tataricum, has now been transferred to the separate genus Goniolimon. Thought you would like to know that Pudge ;) Sharon |

| Thanks Pudge. I had looked them up and that was kind of what I was leaning towards. |

| You're welcome, randiliana. They both make nice dried material, too. Sharon, I had no idea Limonium tartaricum had been renamed. Thanks for the info. |
