Mixed everlasting flowers - Organic

Unit price perThe strawflower is an iconic annual flower, renowned for its brightly colored, papery bracts that retain their vibrancy long after harvesting. This mix offers a rich and luminous palette, ranging from golden yellows and warm oranges to reds, pinks, and whites.
The plant forms upright, well-branched stems bearing round, structured, almost graphic flowers. What appear to be petals are actually rigid, glossy bracts, giving the flower its "immortal" appearance. The more discreet central flowers also attract pollinating insects.
In the garden, strawflower is easy to grow and undemanding. It thrives in sunny locations and well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates drought relatively well and continues to bloom throughout the summer. Its abundant flowering makes it a reliable choice for flower beds, borders, and cut flower gardens.
