Tall Mix Helichrysum (Strawflower) Seeds
About–Â A favorite in old-fashioned gardens, Strawflower is grown for its papery flowers that come in shades of pink, yellow, white, orange and red. They have a long bloom cycle from mid summer to fall. Flowers can be used for fresh cut flowers or dried for everlasting flower arrangements.
When and Where to Plant–Â Start indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost or direct sow after danger of frost is over. Do no cover seeds as they need light for germination.
