Mediterranean Sea Lavender

Limonium vulgare Miller

Brief Summary

provided by Ecomare
Sea lavender grows on sandy marshes. At the end of July and the beginning of August, the marshes turn purple and lilac from the flowering sea lavender and pink from the thrift. Although the buds extend from several side stems along the main stem, they are so dense, the total flower head looks like an umbel. Sea lavender is not edible. Flowers from cultivated sea lavender plants are popular as dried flowers.
