Strawflowers can be planted in Autumn to overwinter and flower earlier, while they can handle light to medium frosts they do resent wet feet and I personally lose a few plants throughout our wet winters, so if you'd like a better survival rate a mid-late Spring sowing might be best.

You can pinch out the centres at about 30cm, or alternatively, skip pinching and just harvest the first larger flower very deep.

Kept harvested/deadheaded they will flower all season long.

HARVEST

Strawflowers can be a little wilty when harvested too early, so leave them till they start opening up and their centres show for the best results

If drying however it is better to harvest a little earlier, before their centres open as they will keep opening after they're cut.

Flowers close up on cloudy days.
