PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Strawflower Seeds - Purple Red
Sometimes the simple, descriptive names are best. In this case, we can't think of anything better to call this lovely Strawflower cultivar! In a deep, saturated and jewel-like tone, Strawflower Purple Red is offset by its bright yellow center. Easy to grow and a champion in hot and arid regions, Strawflower is a favorite of florists and crafters for its "everlasting" tendencies.

WHERE TO PLANT STRAWFLOWER SEEDSStrawflower does best in Full Sun conditions, though they can tolerate Partial Shade - though in shade you'll see noticeably fewer blooms. Strawflower doesn't require particularly rich soil as long as it's well-drained, but amending in some compost will help ensure they thrive.
HOW TO PLANT STRAWFLOWER SEEDSSow seeds directly onto the surface of the soil, and firmly compress. Do not cover the Strawflower seeds, as they require sunlight to germinate. This variety should start sprouting in approximately 7-10 days.
HOW TO CARE FOR STRAWFLOWERWhen your Strawflowers reach a height of 2-3 inches, thin them to 1 plant every 10-12 inches apart for adequate spacing. Once established, Strawflowers don't need much care. Watering is only needed if the soil starts to feel dry to the touch. Once flowers begin to fade, pinch them off to encourage additional Strawflower blooms.
