Description
Xerochrysum bracteatum
Superb dried flower!!
Strawflowers have petals that resemble the texture of straw when mature and hold their color and texture even when dry. Makes an excellent cut flower and dries beautifully. This mix comes in an array of colors, including red, pink, salmon, lemon, and lilac. This flower is also slightly frost-tolerant, so it continues to bloom into fall! Pollinators love them! Plant next to your tomatoes for a bumper crop.
