The statice plants that I set out in the large container bed on April 8, are looking pretty good. Not growing by leaps and bounds, but they are growing and looking sturdy. The red color had at first is more green-ish now. The tubing is for irrigation lines I will install soon.
The statice seedlings that I held back from planting outdoors in April, because I didn't know if it was too early, are a little smaller and the leaves have a more red - ish tint. Kind of maroon, sort of. They have been sitting in the vegetable bed for a week or two, pending being planted. I planted them outdoors today.
It's interesting, they look a lot like dandelions or similar weeds. Also, they have a red taproot.
These are interesting plants. I bet that taproot will give them good drought tolerance. It's a good thing I didn't wait longer to plant them. I planted four in a large container, and three in the ground in the meditation garden.
