Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil with occasional summer watering. Hardy to about 25 degrees F. Tolerates salt spray and desert heat so an excellent plant for seaside plantings and also in dry gardens. It makes a good cut flower, both fresh and dry. Little maintenance required other than to remove spent flower stalks and to divide every 2 to 3 years in the spring to renew vigor. Use care not to plant in areas adjacent to wildland coastal riparian areas where it has been known to naturalize.

This plant comes from a limited area on the island of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands - in David and Zoe Bramwell's 1974 Wild Flowers of the Canary Islands this location is identified as on the western end of the island but in more recent works the area is noted as being on the eastern part of the island. Wherever it is, it is considered to be a rare and vulnerable species in its native habitat because of low population size and restricted distribution. The name for the genus comes from the Latin word limonion used by Pliny for a wild plant which came from the Ancient Greek word 'leimon' meaning "meadow". This plant was originally named Statice perezii by Otto Stapf, an Austrian botanist who later moved to England and became the herbarium curator at Kew and was awarded the Linnean Medal in 1927. Stapf published the name in a 1908 article in Annals of Botany, Oxford Journals called "Rediscovery of Statice arborea and the Discovery of a new allied species [S. Perezii, Stapf.]" with the name presumably to honor Dr. George V. Perez, a medical doctor who sent seed of several different Statice species to Kew in 1902. These plants were moved to Limonium by Harvard University botanist Frederic Hubbard in 1916. Other common names include Perez's Sea Lavender, Seafoam Statice and Marsh Rosemary. We have grown this useful and attractive plant at our nursery since 1980. 

Information displayed on this page about Limonium perezii is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
