Strawflower, Apricot Mix

Bracteantha bracteata
 
I love the color and texture of strawflowers.  This mix contains a wide range of colors from creamy off white, to peachy pink, to rosey red offset by the yellow ring of pollen in the center.  The petals are stiff and make fabulous sounds when you run your hands over them. Can be used as a fresh cut flower or harvested for an everlasting dry flower.  Pollinators love them all summer long and they last well into the late Fall in your garden.
 
Give them an early start indoors and transplant after the last frost. 75 days to maturity
 
Packet contains ~150 seeds
