Strawflower- Everlasting flower- Paper Flower -Golden Everlasting, Australian Native Helichrysum Xerochrysum
The real strawflower blossom will bring vivid colors to your landscape and craft projects alike. Strawflowers resemble daisies in form, but unlike daisies, the petals are stiff and papery. In fact, they aren’t true petals at all, but modified leaves called bracts.
Strawflowers are an excellent choice for a cutting garden and provide long lasting blooms in the garden as well.
Strawflowers were previously classified as a member of the genus Bracteantha but now are in the Xerochrysum genus.
Plant strawflower after the last frost date in your region.
Strawflowers grow best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. During the hottest months of the year in warm climates like the low desert of Arizona, strawflowers are happiest with some afternoon shade.
Strawflowers do well in most soils as long as it is well-draining.
Give strawflowers enough room to grow well and allow for airflow. Depending on the variety, strawflowers grow between 2-3 feet (61-91 cm) tall and 6-18 inches (15-45 cm) wide. Staking may be required sometimes.
