OSC Seeds Strawflowers Mixed Helichrysum Pkg.

Approximately 300 seeds/package (1,500 seeds/gram)

The old-fashioned flowers are exceptionally bright and colourful in the garden. They range from 5-7.5 cm across and still make one of the prettiest dried flowers going. Upright, branching plants can reach up to 90 cm in height. When harvesting for dried flowers, cut stems before the flowers fully open and hang upside down to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated site.

In late May or early June, sow seed directly outdoors 6 mm deep and 5 cm apart, then thin to 30 cm apart when the seedlings are 5-7.5 cm tall. To produce extra-large flowers, remove all but one bud from each flower stem. Straw flower does best in full sun but will tolerate some shade. It also tolerates growing in poor or drier soils. Germination occurs in 10-14 days.
