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 and trendy 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.
