sea lavender
Coastal purple wildflower
Sea lavender is a flowering plant found in coastal salt marshes and seaside environments, producing clusters of small papery flowers in shades of lavender, purple, pink, or white.
Despite its name, it is not related to true lavender but gets the name from its similar flower color.
The blooms dry well and retain their color, making sea lavender popular in dried flower arrangements and coastal gardens.
