Statice Seed -QIS Mix

This Statice QIS mix is widely used by cut flower growers, and is loved for the long strong stems and uniform flowers it produces. Plants are reliably productive, and the flowers are a favourite choice for dried floral use as they hold their colour when dry and their stems stay strong.
