(Bracteantha bracteata) We love how strawflowers change colors, attract pollinators, and last forever. If you’re ever in a slump, they are sure to cheer you up! Silvery rose is perfectly named with a rose-tipped white bloom that deepens as it matures. As always, the long stems are perfect for cutting for use in bouquets, wreaths, etc and will last almost forever once dry. These more subdued blooms add a touch of quiet romance. Expect a few different shades from white to light pink to darker pink. Like all strawflowers, they are virtually indestructible and covered in pollinators! Annual to 3.5’. 75-85 Days. UO
Average. Prefers well-drained and evenly moist soil.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Keep harvesting and/or deadheading for high-quality cuttings.
Everlasting and excellent for wreaths and all dried flower arrangements.
Cut stems when flowers are about 1/4 open (the first 2-3 layers of petals open) and have a tighter flower structure. Expect a vase life of a week to 7-10 days.
