This unique statice variety produces airy sprays of papery flowers in warm apricot and peach tones that add a soft, vintage look to bouquets and dried arrangements. The plants are well-branched and productive, making them an excellent choice for cut flower growers and home gardeners alike. Statice is very easy to grow, drought tolerant once established, and blooms over a long period in summer. The flowers are excellent for fresh bouquets, but truly shine as dried flowers, keeping their colour far better than many other varieties. Pollinators also enjoy statice in the garden while it’s in bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to \u003cstrong\u003eQIS Apricot\u003c\/strong\u003e statice, Hipster Apricot typically has a softer, more muted apricot tone and slightly more airy, branching stems. QIS Apricot is known for very uniform plants and slightly larger flower clusters, while Hipster Apricot has a more natural, delicate look that works beautifully in mixed bouquets and dried flower arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Characteristics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for cut flowers (bouquets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for dried flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePollinator friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific Name: Limonium sinuatum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLife Cycle: Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeed Type: Open Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight Requirements: Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Height: 60–75 cm (24–30 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeed Depth: Surface sow, lightly press into soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacing: 25–30 cm (10–12 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloom Time: Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDays to Maturity: 110–120 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdible \/ Toxic: Not applicable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGermination: 7–14 days at 18–21°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStart seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost. Do not cover seeds, as light helps germination—just press seeds gently into the soil surface. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Statice prefers well-drained soil and full sun. Avoid overwatering once plants are established. Harvest flowers when fully open for fresh use, or when colour is fully developed for drying. Hang upside down in a dry, dark location for best dried flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQ: Is Hipster Apricot good for dried flowers?\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, statice is one of the best dried flowers available and holds its colour extremely well for months or even years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How is Hipster Apricot different from QIS Apricot statice?\u003cbr\u003eA: Hipster Apricot has softer, more muted apricot tones and a slightly airier growth habit, while QIS Apricot is more uniform with slightly larger flower clusters and a more commercial cut flower look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Circle Farms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48189446488320,"sku":null,"price":6.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/6646\/7840\/files\/Statice_Hipster_Apricot.jpg?v=1774121176","url":"https:\/\/www.circlefarms.ca\/products\/statice-seeds-hipster-apricot","provider":"Circle Farms","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
