Tall Strawflowers Seeds

The Everlasting mixed seeds are one of the best-known and most popular of the "paper daisies". Our tall paper daisies mix will provide a wonderful sea of colour to your green space.

Description

This Paper Daisy is a very widespread perennial species across Australia. It varies in habit from prostrate to a shrubby plant of about 70cm in height.

The leaves are usually large (up to 100mm long) and green to grey-green in colour. The individual flowers are very small but are formed into a large cluster surrounded by large papery bracts. The overall appearance is that of a large, single "flower" with the bracts as the "petals". However, well over a hundred true flowers occur inside the ring of bracts. This seed mix includes flowers in shades of pink, white, yellow, red, and orange.

Planting Guide

Paper Daisies are usually quick growing in sunny, well-drained positions. They benefit from regular light pruning annually to encourage branching and a greater number of flowers. Severe pruning to overcome "legginess" may be successful but only as a last resort.
