Helichrysum bracteatum ‘Silvery Rose’ seeds – ( Strawflower)

Description

These plants are tall and well branched. They bear lovely double pure to creamy white flowers which are tinged with rose at the tops of the petals. The rose colour darkens as the flower matures and opens fully , producing a pretty colour effect of light and shade.

Sowing advice

Sow in spring and summer in trays or pots in moist seed raising mix. Do not cover seed as light is required for germination. Bottom water or mist to avoid covering seeds with mix. Seeds wil germinate in 7-14 days at about 21-24 deg C. Transplant to cell packs or larger containers when the first true leaves appear. Harden off and transplant outside after the danger of frost has passed
