Strawflower White
Bracteantha bracteata
Pearly white petals with a shimmery silver cast as they open, blooming summer through fall. Their petal texture adds interest to your garden, fresh and dried floral arrangements summer through fall. Strawflowers will retain their shape and color after being dried and are perfect for arrangements.
Seed Count: approximately 75 seeds
Plant Height: 24-36”
Light Requirements: full sun
Soil Preference: average fertility and moderate water conditions
USDA Zones: 2-10 (annual)
How to Grow
Germination: 7-10 days at 70-75F
Seeding Depth: 1/8” depth or sow on the surface, light required for germination
Plant Spacing: 10-12”
Days to Maturity: 80-90 days
Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct seed outdoors after the last frost date.
Late-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 11 weeks before the first frost date.
Growing Tips: Grow plants at 60-70F after seeds have germinated. Seeds do better with below tray watering that won’t disturb surface sown seeds.
Cut Flower: Harvest when flower buds are half open to ensure a longer vase life of 7 days. To dry, remove all of the foliage and hang upside down for a few weeks in a dry place.
