CUTIE?

Hi, I am Limonium!

You probably know me as the Limonium. Perhaps my sister, the Limonium Statice, also looks familiar to you. I am also popularly called the Lamb's Ear or Sea Lavender. With my purple flowers and coarse leaves with salt crystals on them, I am a surprising appearance, as these crystals allow me to glisten in the sun!

I originate from a wide area, from the Cape of Good Hope to the Mediterranean and the Caucasus. With my nickname, the Sea Lavender, you can probably imagine that I am a real coastal plant. If you live by the sea and regularly have to deal with the salty, rough sea breeze, I am your best friend. Don't live by the sea? No problem at all! I also do very well in the country side or urban areas.

Adopt Rainforest

Plantanious works together with the Work with Nature foundation. Our tropical rainforests are disappearing at a rapid pace and an enormous biodiversity is being lost along with the trees. If it were up to us, the jaguar would soon walk around again in the rainforest in Costa Rica protected by 'Adopt Rainforest'! The place where many of our special plants originate. In order to make an important contribution to the goal of the foundation - to protect 2,000 hectares of rainforest in the next ten years - we donate part of our turnover to protect part of the tropical rainforest. To achieve their goal, the foundation puts money into protection, conservation, reforestation, education and research.
