beautiful! What are its growing habits? I'd love to try this if it can survive in zone 6b-7a.

Thanks GW, it is just a great plant pretty much year round here.

woodspirit, you can click on the name in the first post to go to the info in the DG Plants Database......don't think it would make it in 7a, but here is some additional info for you that might allow you to grow it in your zone:

The most widely used everlastings, statice has a large flower head of small, papery blooms on stiff stems. The small flowers are held in dense, large clusters above the gray-green foliage. They are unsurpassed for fresh and dried arrangements. Statice is easy to grow and salt tolerant. Seeds can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting or sown directly outdoors. Division may be done in early to late spring or root cuttings can be taken in mid-winter and grown indoors or in a coldframe until spring. It is resistant to deer and will bloom all summer long.
