{"product_id":"statice-sunburst-apricot","title":"Statice Sunburst Apricot","description":"\u003cp\u003eStatice Sunburst Apricot brings a completely different feel to statice. The soft apricot blooms have a warm, slightly vintage look that works beautifully amongst summer flowers. And that colour is just as useful indoors. Cut them fresh for a vase or dry them to keep that little bit of summer around for much longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e🌸 Flowering: June to the first frosts \u003cbr\u003e📏 Height: 70-90cm\u003cbr\u003e🌿 Tender perennial usually treated as an annual\u003cbr\u003e💧 Drought tolerant once established\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSow: \u003c\/strong\u003ebetween February and April, start by sowing onto moist well-drained compost. Cover lightly and keep at 18-24C. Germination usually takes 7-14 days.

Plant 25-35 cm apart. Statice thrives in well-drained soil and is quite happy to be baked in full sun. It suits low-water gardens. It needs little aftercare, just cutting and deadheading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnjoy:\u003c\/strong\u003e I think this colour is the real reason to grow Sunburst Apricot.

It’s the calyx. Those colourful, papery parts are the calyces surrounding the much shorter-lived true flowers. The calyces remain after the flowers have faded and keep their colour as they dry. That's the secret behind statice being such a brilliant everlasting flower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MoreVeg Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67600539451668,"sku":"FLWSSA","price":1.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/3133\/7236\/files\/StaticeSunburstApricotm.jpg?v=1790765240","url":"https:\/\/moreveg.co.uk\/products\/statice-sunburst-apricot","provider":"MoreVeg Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
