Discover the delicate beauty of Xerochrysum bracteatum 'White' seeds, a tender annual that promises a cascade of charming, papery flowers. These exquisite white blooms, each with a cheerful yellow centre, are a favourite for creating stunning fresh bouquets and long-lasting dried arrangements. Often referred to as 'everlasting flowers', their ability to retain colour and form after drying makes them an indispensable choice for flower arrangers. As part of the prestigious Kew Flowerhouse Seed Collection from Thompson & Morgan, these seeds have been curated with the expertise of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. They are perfectly suited for enhancing cottage garden borders, dedicated cut flower gardens, and adding a touch of elegance to patio containers, providing a continuous spectacle of blooms throughout the summer months. How to Grow: - Light: Plant in full sun for the most abundant flowering. - Temperature: Provide warm, frost-free conditions for the initial germination and growth stages. - Watering: Ensure the soil remains moist until the plant is established, then moderate watering is sufficient. - Feeding: Apply a balanced fertiliser once the plants have been put in their final position. - Humidity: Grow in normal garden conditions and ensure the soil is not waterlogged. Xerochrysum bracteatum 'White' offers semi-double white flowers with a yellow centre, perfect for both fresh and dried displays.
