Plant Care & Growing Tips

Growing beautiful Strawflowers from apricot peach strawflower seeds is a rewarding experience. These plants are relatively low-maintenance, thriving in conditions that might challenge other flowering annuals. For optimal germination, plant your seeds when soil temperatures are consistently around 70-75°F. You can start them indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly sow them outdoors once the danger of frost has passed. Ensure they receive plenty of sunlight; Strawflowers are sun-lovers and require full sun exposure to produce their most abundant blooms. A minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal.

When it comes to soil, Strawflowers prefer average to dry conditions and are tolerant of various soil types, as long as they are well-draining. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils, which can lead to root rot. Once established, these plants are quite drought-tolerant, requiring less frequent watering than many other flowering plants. Water deeply when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. They are considered tender perennials, meaning they can perennialize in warmer climates (USDA Hardiness Zone 9 and above) but are typically grown as annuals in most regions. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage more flowering throughout the season. These plants typically reach a height of 36-40 inches and should be spaced 9-12 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth. With proper care, your everlasting daisy seeds will yield a spectacular display.
