Rainbow Strawflower Mix (Helichrysum bracteatum) Tall, up to 40 inches, these well-branched plants produce 2-3 inch double papery pom pom-like blooms well into fall. Remarkably, our stand survived Hurricane Dorian in September 2019 and continued to glisten in the September sun. Rainbow Mix includes varying hues of orange, purple, red, pink, yellow, bronze and white. Popular as fresh-cut or dried flower bouquets.
