Vintage White Strawflower

Helichrysum bracteatum

Beautiful creamy white double petals, this variety goes well with other Strawflowers for drying or for bouquets.  Tall plants grow to 5’ or more.  Harvest often for continuous blooms.  If harvesting for dried flowers be sure to clip the flower heads while the petals are still closed. 

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.
