Old-fashioned annual statice is found more often dried in crafts stores than it is growing in gardens. But this easy-to-grow plant is a great pick for containers or the middle of the border, especially if you want to harvest for everlasting bouquets indoors.
It bears papery flowers in a wide variety of colors. These flowers dry very well, so much so they practically dry on the plant. They're also very drought-tolerant, so you can enjoy their blooms even if you forget to water them from time to time. In fact, they thrive in hot, sunny spots with well-drained soil. Plant them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
Use globe amaranth's small, round flowers to add an intriguing textural contrast to annual statice.
