Sorry, crop failure! Hopefully available autumn 2026.
A unique and striking flower that performs both as a fresh flower and dried – keeping its bright colours when dry – and is remarkably long-lasting with flowers often going on into November. Gives tall stems with plants growing up to 75cm. This pack is a mix of soft pinks and magenta.
Approx. 300 seeds per pack.
Botanical name: Xerochrysum bracteatum
Sow from March to May in trays under cover, ideally with a bit of heat – only lightly cover with compost. When big enough to handle prick out into modules or in trays 5 cm apart. When around 5 cm tall, plant out after risk of frost has passed at approx. 30 cm spacing. Flowers from July until October.
