(Bracteantha bracteata) So. For the first time ever, the birds have decided Strawflower seed is a previously unknown delicacy. I feel like the birds around our farm are acquiring very discerning palates! Whatever we can do to feed the masses… The name of the game here is diversity. Gorgeous like all strawflowers and awesome because they change colors as they age! The color range includes yellows, peach, oranges, dusty rose, and reds. Each one beginning as one color and changing like the best sunset. Long stems and very long-lasting cut, field (past frost) and dried flowers. Attract a diversity of pollinators (subtle yet distinct smell) and birds. Lots and lots of birds. 75-80 days. UO
