About Limonium gougetianum
Limonium gougetianum, commonly known as Gouget's Sea Lavender, is a perennial plant from the Plumbaginaceae family, prized for its delicate mauve or lavender flowers that grow in branched spikes.

Care tips
It requires full sun for abundant flowering and optimal development. Watering should be moderate, allowing the substrate to dry out between waterings, as it is drought-tolerant and waterlogging is detrimental. It prefers well-drained soils, even sandy or slightly calcareous. A common mistake is overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
