Pink Pokers Statice Seed

Item #HSC-STA-011-PKT

Whimsical pink "rat tail" statice.

Pink Pokers (Russian or rat-tail statice) has long, slender, curving pink spikes with a fairytale, sea-creature look, quite unlike common annual statice.

Leaves stay mostly at the base, so stems are easy to find and need almost no stripping, and low plants give two or three flushes of cuttable stems. Excellent fresh and holds its color well when dried.

Plants grow 20–30" tall and flower about 80–95 days from sowing. Open-pollinated.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Start in trays

Sow 5–6 weeks ahead in 50-cell trays at about 70°F, barely covered; direct sowing is not advised.

Root them cool

Hold seedlings near 60°F for 1–2 weeks after emergence, then plant out after frost.

Space in sun

Set plants 8–12" apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil.

Cut when colored

Harvest when most florets are open and colored; hang upside down to dry.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 5–14 days at around 70°F (21°C).

Starting transplants (recommended)

Sow in 50-cell trays or similar containers 5–6 weeks before planting out. Light helps the seed sprout, so cover it only enough to keep it in place. Harden off and plant out after the last frost. Direct sowing is not recommended.

Cool start

Keeping seedlings at about 60°F (16°C) for a week or two after they come up helps them root well.
