This strawflower mix is a combination or Sultane mix, Apricot Peach, Silvery Rose, and Copper Red offering a beautiful diversity of colours all summer long. Strawflowers also make an excellent dried flower for everlasting bouquets. They make a beautiful addition to garlic braids.

We use the dried flowers to dress up any garden gifts we are giving in the winter: use a ribbon or raffia to tie a few flowers onto a bundle of garlic, jar of jam, or infused herbal vinegar.

Pollinators love these flowers.

Growing Instructions

Direct sow in April in areas with long summers. Otherwise, sow indoors 6 – 8 weeks before last frost and transplant after danger of frost. Strawflowers are technically a tender perennial, but most growers treat them as annuals.
