Strawflower - Cranberry Rose Seeds

Strawflower is one of those flowers that does it all. In the garden, it’s productive and easy to work with. Once harvested and dried, it becomes a true everlasting, holding its colour and shape long after the season has passed.  Plus, this stunning cranberry (purple meets red) colour is perfect for both fall and holiday designs.

These seeds are originally from Johnny's Seeds.  They were not produced here at the farm.  These are the same seeds we plant to produce our 2-acre flower field.  As I always order extra, I have repackaged the seeds into smaller quantities to allow you the opportunity to grow them, too (as not everyone needs 1000 seeds!).
