Strawflower Seeds

Strawflowers are beloved for their papery texture and vibrant colors that retain their shape long after harvest. These everlastings are perfect for fresh arrangements, dried bouquets, and crafting projects. Blooming in cheerful shades of pink, orange, yellow, and cream, strawflowers are heat-tolerant and thrive in sunny gardens across Canada. Their long stems make them an ideal choice for cut flower growers who love long-lasting color in every season.

How do I grow Strawflowers from seed?

In order to grow Strawflowers from seed, you need to start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors once the soil warms. Press the seeds lightly into the surface of the soil without covering them too deeply, as light helps them germinate. Keep the soil evenly moist until sprouts appear. Once seedlings are large enough, transplant them into well-drained soil in full sun. Regular deadheading will extend the bloom period, and harvesting flowers before they fully open ensures beautiful dried blooms that last all year.
