Sea-lavenders

The sea-lavenders (Limonium) are a sizable and diverse group of flowering plants in the leadwort family. They are so-named because many sport showy, lavender-colored flowers (though they are totally unrelated to traditional "lavenders") and because many thrive in saline environments, such as coastal areas and brackish marshes. Several species within the genus are commonly cultivated as ornamentals; they do well in salty, sandy, or arid environments that other showy plants may struggle in.

Leadwort

Leadwort is flowering herbaceous plants, subshrubs, or small shrubs growing to 30 to 100 cm tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, usually with a hairy margin. Some of the species are evergreen, others deciduous. The flowers are produced in a compact inflorescence, each flower with a five-lobed corolla; flower colour varies from pale to dark blue to red-purple. The fruit is a small bristly capsule containing a single seed. This genus includes about 8 species. Leadwort is native to warm temperate to tropical regions of Africa and Asia.

Limoniastrum

Limoniastrum is a genus of plants in the family Plumbaginaceae, containing two known species of subshrubs found the Mediterranean region, within Africa and southern Europe.

Plumbagella

Thrifts

Plumbago

The plumbago (Plumbago) are a small group of warm temperate and tropical flowering plants. Some of them are small, herbaceous plants, while others can grow to the size of large shrubs. Often featuring large clusters of showy flowers, several plumbago are cultivated as ornamentals, particularly in parks and gardens boasting mild climates.
