XERANTHEMUM - White Immortelle - PLANTS

Xeranthemum - White Immortelle

Plants

Sale price$9.00

A delightfully wispy, antique white paper daisy type flowers on wiry thin stems with silvery foliage. Very productive, and a favourite of the bumblebees. Dries amazingly.

We've found xeranthemum don't like wet feet, or being held in their cell trays for too long, so make sure they get planted out quickly. They have also shown promise at potentially being a hardy (or hardy-ish) annual, self seeding and happily surviving our very mild winter so far.

Please note, we have a minimum plant order of $45 (approx. 5 plants) – you can mix & match any plants to meet the minimum.

Our plant boxes can fit up to 10 plants per box.

Plant orders are shipped on Mondays (& Tuesdays).

See our Shipping Page for more info.

Xeranthemum annum

Plant Type: Annual

Ideal Location: Full Sun

Spacing: 22cm

Height: 40-60cm

Xeranthemum may potentially be hardy. It self seeded and grew over winter in one of our tunnels just fine, but that would have been a pretty mild almost frost free winter (but our tunnels aren't very insulating so it definitely would have survived a light frost).

Xeranthemum hate wet feet, so make sure not to over water them as seedlings and plant them in a very well draining spot.

If growing for cuts it would be worth sowing multiple successions so you can harvest the entire plant at once then sort through the stems vs trying to pick through their tangly stems one at a time.

Xeranthemum make fantastic dried flowers, make sure to harvest when most flowers aren't too open as older flowers may end up browning as they dry.
