Strawflower - Apricot Mix

Long lasting papery flowers in shades of peach and apricot are magnets for butterflies, bees and hummers. Tall (90-100cm), well branched plants bloom profusely on long stems from mid-summer till frost. Cut flowers when 2-3 layers of petals have unfolded but flower is not fully open. Fresh flowers will last about a week in the vase. Hang flowers upside down in a dark, warm place for use in wreaths and winter arrangements. Deadhead spent flowers to extend flowering period.
