Strawflower Granvia® Harvest Orange 10 Inch

Bracteantha bracteatum

Also known as Xerochrysum, this supersized strawflower variety produces extra large, 3-4 inch, sunny orange, daisy-like blooms over mildew resistant, fuzzy, green foliage and a vigorous, well-branched, upright habit. All strawflowers offer excellent heat and drought tolerance, and they're known for their unusual papery to straw-like petals that crackle when touched. Flowers will close in shade or on dark, cloudy days. Use in sunny spots in the front border or in mixed containers or hanging baskets with petunias, Angelonia, licorice vine, and Pentas. They also make excellent dried flowers for arrangements and wreaths. Grow in sunny areas with well-drained, amended soil, or in containers. Feed with a slow-release fertilizer per label instructions. Trim to maintain better blooming and a tidy habit. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
