Strawflower Silvery Rose, Helichrysum bracteatum seeds
Strawflowers are flowers you maybe would not think of first when planning your flower garden. But once they flower you regret not sowing a lot more. The strong and unique shaped flowers work really well on flower arrangements and the new varieties have beautiful colors. If you pick the flowers when they are still closed and hang them upside down to dry they will last ages. Silvery rose starts darker pink and ages into a softer more silvery pink. The center of the flower is orange.

How to grow Strawflower Silvery Rose from seed?
Strawflowers germinate fast, within one to two weeks when the temperature is around 20°C. The seeds need light to germinate so don’t cover the seeds too much. You can use a heat mat when you germinate the seeds in your greenhouse. Don’t start the seeds too early because you can only plant them out after the danger of frost has passed. When you have planted your seedlings outside they require little care. We have never supported the starflowers in our garden but if you grow them as cut flowers closer together you might want to protect them with some support.
Pick the flowers before they have opened for the longest vase life.
