Limonium gmelinii 'Dazzle Rocks'

Attracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Resistant to deer and rabbits.

Emerges in spring, blooms from midsummer into early fall, dies back in winter in colder zones.

– Dried flower arrangements
– Rock and gravel gardens
– Border edging
– Pollinator gardens

Compact rosette of leathery, dark green leaves that stay low and tidy.

Violet-blue, papery flowers in airy sprays on wiry stems. Great for cut and dried arrangements. Blooms mid to late summer.

Plant in spring after the last frost. Use well-draining sandy or gravelly soil. Space 10–12" apart to promote airflow and avoid root rot.

Remove spent flower stems to tidy up the plant. Cut back old growth in late fall or early spring.

Water regularly during establishment. Once mature, very drought-tolerant—only water during prolonged dry spells.

Full sun (6+ hours/day) is essential for compact growth and strong flowering.

No fruit. Harvest flower stems for fresh or dried use when in peak bloom.

Very low-maintenance. If needed, apply light compost or balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid rich soil or heavy feeding.

Visited by bees and butterflies, but typically sterile—does not self-seed.

Pairs well with Lavender, Sedum, Coreopsis, Echinacea, Salvia, and Ornamental Grasses—ideal for dry, sunny borders or rock gardens.
