Strawflower|Hudson Valley Seed Co
Xerochrysum bracteatum. Those who think of flowers as soft and tender things are in for a surprise when they plant Strawflower. As its name suggests, its blooms are straw-like: crisp, papery, and sturdy. These are not botanical petals but are bracts, special leaves that draw in pollinators and stay colorful for years if stored somewhere dry (hence the flower's alias, Everlasting). Bring the colors of summer into your home to keep your gardening dreams alive all winter with these showy, festive blooms.
