As a cousin to Tall Strawflower and Dwarf Strawflower, these delightful sunny lemon blooms have papery petals that give them that long-lasting color - wonderful for cut flowers, dried flowers, and crafts. Although this plant is not famed for attracting pollinators, the dried seed heads offer shelter or nesting material for insects and birds.
The original strawflower comes from Australia, where it still grows wild as a native species. The first botanical records of the strawflower date back to 1803, with the publication of a work called Jardin de Malmaison. this book, a catalog of the species grown at the Chateau de Malmaison, was completed by French botanist Etienne Pierre Ventenat at the request of Napoleon's wife Josephine, who had an avid interest in rare plants. Hybrid forms of this flower first became popular in mid 19th century Europe as a result of the horticultural research of expert botanist Herren Ebritsch. FAST FACTS
