Helichrysum bracteatum
Add soft elegance and lasting beauty to your garden with Strawflower Silvery Rose. This charming variety produces masses of delicate blooms in a beautiful silvery rose shade, creating a stunning display in garden beds, borders, and containers throughout the warmer months.
Renowned for their distinctive papery petals, strawflowers retain their colour and shape long after being picked, making them one of the best flowers for fresh arrangements and dried floral displays. Their long flowering period and nectar-rich blooms also help attract bees and other beneficial pollinators to the garden.
Easy to grow and tolerant of warm, sunny conditions, Strawflower Silvery Rose thrives in well-drained soil and rewards gardeners with an abundance of blooms that provide colour, texture, and interest all season long.
How to grow
Sow 6mm (quarter-inch) deep in seed tray or punnet using seed compost. Keep moist. Transplant to final flowering position when 5-7cm (2-3in) high, spacing 30cm (1ft) apart. Can also be sown direct in soil.
