Care guide

Uses

<p>Grown as an ornamental for sunny borders and pots and, above all, as the classic everlasting for dried bouquets, wreaths and crafts. Fresh blooms also work as long-lasting cut flowers.</p>

Growing tips

<p>Surface-sow or barely cover the seed as it needs light to germinate, keeping at 18-22°C; germination takes <strong>7-14 days</strong>. Transplant when seedlings have 3-4 true leaves, spacing 25-30 cm apart in full sun. Stake taller types and harvest blooms for drying just before they fully open, then hang upside down in shade. Plants flower in roughly <strong>80-100 days</strong> from sowing.</p>
