Description
Pure white, starry flowers which make a delightful dried flower. They work well as a filler in dried autumnal arrangements and hold their own when added to a winter wreath. Although they're not the showiest of dried flowers, they're one of our favourites for their beautiful simplicity.
Like helichrysums, winged everlasting is an Australian native which is very robust and drought tolerant. It also thrives in wet summers.
