Strawflower Mix

Helichrysum bracteatum

This is for those of you who want a few of each strawflower color and don’t want to choose between them!  They look so lovely growing together.  This mix contains four varieties;  Vintage White, Apricot Mix, Cranberry Rose and Silvery Rose Strawflower seeds mixed together.  It could also be the start of a breeding project.  Plant them, watch them cross pollinate, save some seeds and see what happens next year!  

Strawflower Growing Instructions

Strawflowers grow easily from seed.  If starting seeds indoors sow 4 weeks prior to your last frost date.  These small seeds need light to germinate.  Pre moisten soil and press seeds lightly into seedling mix.  Transplant out two-three weeks after the last frost.  Space plants 9”-12” apart.  Direct sow seeds when soil temperatures have reached 55 degrees- typically May in the Northwest.  Barely cover with soil and keep the area moist.  Seeds typically germinate in 5-7 days.
