Strawflower OG - live plant
Annual Flower
Xerochrysum bracteatum
Full sun. Well drained soil. This long lasting flower is fantastic for cut flower arrangements and even better dried. Grows 40". If drying, gather the flowers before they are fully opened and hang upside down in a warm (not hot) dark place with good air circulation.
Seeds sourced from Meeting House Farm.
We grow these plants in rows for the pure pleasure of it. We love the fresh bouquets but treasure the dried ones during the winter. Emily keeps an antique milk pitcher full of these dried flowers in the kitchen window all winter. The dried flowers smell delightful and they hold color for more than a year.
Available in a 6 pack because everyone needs more than one!

Organic / Biodynamic Information
All live seedlings, bare roots and gallon-sized plants are certified organic by MOFGA and grown biodynamically from seed at Meeting House Herb Farm in Scarborough, Maine.
A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown.
If you are picking up Seedlings, know that they are quite small - just started and will need some care to establish. We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
If you order bare root, they will be just breaking dormancy and will need to be planted as soon as possible. These will be 1 year plants. Give them a year to fully establish in their new home.
If you are picking up Gallon sized pots, they are 1-3 year old plants dug from our gardens at Meeting House Farm.
