Helichrysum bracteatum 'Purple', the classic old-fashioned strawflowers, which in the past were a must in every farmer's garden. Large flowers in deep purple, which bloom all summer long. These flowers are perfect for drying and retain their colour for a long time. Blooms from June to September. Little care required and resistant to drought.

Pre-sowing is possible in March, sow outdoors from May.

Native to Australia, it grows best in a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
