Strawflower - Silvery Rose

The papery blooms of strawflowers, which are native to Australia, can endure high heat and dry conditions. Profuse bloomers for fresh or dried arrangements. Strawflowers are one of the most popular flowers for drying, and once dried last seemingly forever. Tall, well-branched plants produce double flowers. Blooms are pure to creamy white and frosted with rose at the petal tips. Rose coloring is subtler on young blooms and darkens as they mature and open.
