It took long time about 9 month since June. i grow them on Permaculture Rised bed to make sure of well drain to prevent root rod. I have to start early this year(end of April) to make sure they gonna bloom on December till January. During time to waiting for them I have to grow other flowers such as lobelia,aubrietia.gelato ice plant,gazania and other which take shot time than statice and made some pot planters.
