Use:
Sea lavender has an airy appearance like a lavender baby's breath. it's an excellent plant to soften coarser textures and stiff forms in the late summer perennial garden. The flowers have a papery appearance and work well in dry flower arrangements.

Despite the delicate appearance, sea lavender is pretty tough and requires little care. These plants need to be well established to become really pretty, so don't disturb the roots. Sea lavender can remain in place indefinitely.
