Silvery Rose Strawflower (Xerochrysum bracteata) - Also known as 'Bracted Strawflower', this is a prolific bloomer making it very popular in fresh cut or in dried arrangements. Sturdy plants up to 4 feet tall produce double 2-3” silvery-white flowers frosted with rose at the tip of each petal. The rose colour becomes darker as blooms mature and fully open. Truly an outstanding variety that will persist well into late fall and attract a wide array of pollinators.
