A total stunner. These blooms start off a deep shade of fushia before mellowing out to a silvery rose. A delightfully elegant colour for this dried flower favourite.
A brilliant cut flower which can be used fresh but comes into its own when dried. Pick at the height of flowering, bind together in generous bunches and hang them to dry upside down and the colour will intensify. You'll have colourful blooms to brighten up the house and take you through the winter months and beyond. There's a reason this is known as the 'everlasting flower' and 'immortelle'.
Sow: Sow undercover in April or outside direct in May. Benefits from warm soil.
Plant: 4 weeks after sowing
Harvest: July-September. Pick when flowers are half open. Stems 80cm or longer.
Vase: Can be used fresh or dry. To dry, strip off foliage, tie in a bunch and hang upside down. Flower colours will intensify.
Helichrysum bracteatum
0.25g / ~300 seeds
