I thought I was going to like the purple strawflower better and I was mistaken, that's beautiful too, but, wow, the copper red is gorgeous and dries very well. Ants loved it as much as I did.

So my Strawflower seeds germinated the following growing season after I planted but oh my goodness, the wait was worth it! This strawflower produces gorgeous color that does not fade once dried. I got so many compliments on it at our local market.

I have a few of these that survived the humid summer growing in my garden right now. They are a pretty color but don't look like the shape in the picture. Mine have larger, protruding petals that splay off to the side like a daisy or black-eyed Susan and are more banded rather tan a gradient. I'd like to plant more in the future to se if the shape varies, and to fill in the gaps in my patch of flowers. The orange looks great in the Fall! I would take a photo of my blooming one or two but it's raining hard outside.
