Strawflower
- These wonderful annuals are also known as Helechrysum.
- Each long, thin stalk will produce one or more flowers of yellow, orange or red.
- Although they aren’t fussy about
 type and can stand dry conditions they do need full .
- Plant the seeds ¼ inch deep (1 cm) about 6 to 9 inches apart (15 to 23 cm).
- They will grow to about 3 feet tall (1 m).
- Thin the seedling to 4 inches apart (10 cm) for bigger blooms if your wish to show them.
- You can save the seeds for the following year when you can select your favorite colours or let them reseed themselves.
- The heads are great for dried flower arrangements because keep their colours well. Pick them just before their heads are all the way open for the best shape.
