Blooms & Form
Xerochrysum bracteatum, or Strawflower, is known for its distinctive, papery petals that hold their shape and color even after drying. The mixed color variety produces a blend of soft pink, creamy white, and apricot peach blooms, each with a unique, crisp texture. These plants grow 18-24 inches tall, making them perfect for adding color to borders or creating colorful floral arrangements. Strawflowers are especially valued for their ability to dry well, making them a long-lasting addition to dried flower designs.
How to Grow
- When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the last frost.
- Where to Plant: Strawflowers prefer full sun and well-draining soil. Choose a sunny location for the best blooms.
- Planting Tips: Gently press seeds into the soil, as they need light for germination. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge.
- Care Tips: Once established, Strawflowers are drought-tolerant and require minimal care. Water regularly during dry spells, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage fresh blooms.
The Mixed Color Strawflower is a versatile and stunning addition to any garden, offering beautiful color combinations and long-lasting blooms. Whether you're looking to add pops of color to your landscape or create dried floral arrangements, these flowers provide both beauty and practicality.
