Enjoy an abundance of double flowers for fresh and dried arrangements. We offer several individual colours of these tall, well-branching strawflowers including Copper Red with its dark red petals surrounding yellow centers. Easy to grow, the 90-100 cm (36-40”) tall plants are very tolerant of hot and dry conditions.

Latin Name Xerochrysum bracteatum (also widely listed as Helichrysum bracteautum and even Bracteantha bracteata).
Difficulty Easy
Exposure Full sun
Days to Mature 75-85 Days
Days to Sprout 5-20 Days
Germination Rate 67%
Starting Sow seeds on the surface of the soil, as they need light to germinate. Water from below or use a mister to avoid disturbing the seeds. Space 30-45cm (12-18″) apart, and only transplant once the night time temperatures are consistently above 10°C (50°F).
Growing

Strawflower seeds are particularly uniform, so they tend to all be in bloom at once from summer to late fall. Cut flowers as needed for arrangements and drying, and deadhead any spent flowers. Doing a second sowing, two to three weeks after the first, will produce a longer bloom time.
