Description
Xerochrysum bracteatum
Wonderful long-lasting dried flower! Pollinators love them!
Petals resemble the texture of straw when mature, and they hold their color and texture even when dry. This mix includes plants in an array of colors, including pink, red, salmon, lemon, and lilac. Slightly frost-tolerant, it continues to bloom into fall! Flowers grow on long stems up to 4’ tall.
Seeds grown by Swift River Farm in Salmon, Idaho.
125 seeds
Directions: Sow on soil surface and keep moist but do not cover, as seeds require light to germinate. Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost and transplant out after.
