Sea lavender, scientifically known as Limonium, is a genus of popular ornamental plants. These flowering plants are often referred to as statice or sea foam due to their delicate, frilly petals and soothing shade of blue. Other common names for sea lavender include marsh-rosemary, caspia, and sea pinks. Some species of Limonium are highly valued for their essential oils and are used in aromatherapy products. Despite being a coastal plant, it is also cultivated for use in cut flower arrangements as it dries well and retains its color. Whether you call it sea lavender, statice, or caspia, this charming plant is a popular choice for gardeners and florists alike.
