Why we grow it

Strawflower is the flower bed with a second act. Its papery blooms keep their color after drying, ready for bunches or wreaths.

Start seeds in flats before the last frost and leave them uncovered so light can reach them. Transplant to a sunny spot after frost; tall plants may appreciate support.

Good to know
