Growing Guide

Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Lightly cover seeds with soil and keep moist until germination (7-14 days at 70-75°F). Transplant seedlings 12 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Care: Plant in full sun for best flowering. Water regularly until established, then water moderately as strawflowers are drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.

Harvesting for Drying: Cut flowers just as they begin to open, before they're fully mature. Remove leaves and hang upside down in a warm, dry, dark location with good air circulation. Flowers will be ready in 1-2 weeks.
