Copper Red Strawflower

Bracteantha bracteata

Harvest tons of red and orange papery petaled blooms for fresh or to use dry.  Strawflowers excel in their ability to hold color and form when dried. For best results as a dried flower, cut before the petals open.  The flower continues to open after harvest and they will store best if the heads don't open all of the way. The plants grow 2-3 feet high. Plant in full sun for optimal growth.  

Direct sow or transplant when soils warm in May. 

75 days to maturity

Packet contains ~50 seeds
