Question
I was told this plant was sea lavender years ago, but evidently sea lavender doesn't grow here in Vermont. Can you identify it for me? It has a lot of similarities to sea lavender. It will be blooming in the fall - the bloom is purple. The photo of it flowering includes asters in the background. Thanks!
Answer
Dear pepperbox, while Limonium carolinianum (Carolina sea-lavender) isn't known to grow wild in VT, it can be cultivated. Your plant certainly looks like this species. Feel free to email me at ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org if you want to discuss this plant further.
