Attractive mix of salmon, peach, coral, and orange hues. Long stems and very long-lasting cut, field (past frost) and dried flowers. Attract a diversity of pollinators.
Highly productive and versatile, these tall, branching plants yield an abundance of double blooms, each measuring about 2 to 2½ inches wide. They’re an excellent choice for both fresh bouquets and dried arrangements. Frequent harvesting or deadheading will encourage continued flowering and higher overall yields. Also known as bracted strawflower.
Specs:
Plant Height: 36–40"
2” soil block
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Sun.
PLANT HEIGHT:
36-40". May require some support.
PLANT SPACING:
10-12".
HARDINESS ZONES:
Annual.
STEM LENGTH:
12-20".
VASE LIFE:
7-10 days.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE:
70-75°F (21-24°C).
HARVEST:
For best results, cut stems when the flowers have opened to show 2–3 layers of petals, but before the center becomes visible. Stage matters—blooms that are too mature may look ready, especially after closing at night or on cloudy days, but will reopen in brighter light and reveal that they’ve passed their ideal cutting window.
To minimize picking overmature blooms:
Harvest during sunny morning conditions, or
Allow freshly cut stems to rest in a bright space for a few hours to confirm their stage
Flowers that are past their prime should be removed, particularly if you plan to dry them. As blooms continue to open during the drying process, overly mature flowers are more likely to fade, lose structure, and shatter.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Average soil with good drainage.
