Most farms now produce improved "tissue culture" varieties of statice which are less susceptible to botrytis and are available in a range of interesting new pastel colours. Statice should be stored in dry, well aired conditions to avoid development of botrytis mold. Tinted Statice is available year round in a wide range of punchy colors.
At Long's, we always have a popular selection of beautiful purple statice.
Grading Information
Sinuata should be graded minimum 5 or 10 stems, 50cm, 300 grams per bunch.
Some farms offer extra large bunches which are graded minimum 400 grams but no fixed stem count.
Sinuata Statice is widely used by bouquet makers who generally require a fixed 10 stem bunch.
Sinuata statice must be shipped with blooms fully open and showing good color.
