Description



Our premium strawflower seeds offer stable high germination rate and robust growth performance. Botanical name Xerochrysum bracteatum, strawflower is a famous everlasting annual flower characterized by stiff, papery bracts that retain shape and color perfectly after air-drying. It is the top choice for handmade dried flower arrangements and long-lasting home decor.
Strawflower features outstanding heat and drought resistance, thriving strongly under full sunlight in hot summer without frequent watering. It blooms continuously from early summer until frost, bringing bright layered colors to garden beds, border edging, mass landscape planting and container pots. The daisy-like blooms attract butterflies and pollinators to activate the garden ecosystem. This variety adapts well to ordinary well-drained soil, needs only simple daily care, ideal for gardening beginners, flower hobbyists and commercial dried flower production.
