Summary
Goniolimon speciosum, commonly known as Dwarf Statice, is an evergreen subshrub native to rocky slopes and coastal areas in Siberia and Northeast Asia. It typically grows to a height and width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters), forming a compact mound. Dwarf Statice is characterized by its dense tufts of narrow, leathery leaves and its showy flower spikes that bear tiny pink and purple flowers during the summer months. These flowers are highly attractive to pollinators and can add a touch of color to rock gardens and borders.
Dwarf Statice is valued for its low maintenance requirements and its ability to thrive in poor, well-drained soils. It is often used in rock gardens, as edging, or in container plantings due to its small size and ornamental flowers. The plant prefers full sun exposure and requires moderate watering, particularly in well-drained soils. While it is generally pest and disease-free, it can suffer from root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils. Dwarf Statice is not known for aggressive roots or significant invasiveness issues.CC BY-SA 4.0
