Description

Who doesn’t want a flower that can stand up to the elements while exuding beauty and style? Apricot Peach Strawflower is full of papery, spikey, everlasting and abundant blooms which sit atop 36-40” tall plants. We surveyed the masses on the internet for a favorite strawflower in our trial garden and these hues were the people’s clear choice. Strawflowers are the best flower we know for garlic braids, dried bouquets and wreaths – and this is the most awe-inspiring color pallet we know.
