Xerochrysum bracteatum

Superb dried flower!! Harvest just before they open fully for everlasting blooms!

Strawflowers have petals that resemble the texture of straw when mature and hold their color and texture even when dry. A mix of different colors (red, pink, lemon, lilac and more!) makes for grand crafts and dried flowers. 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.
