Strawflowers

Xerochrysum bracteatum
previously classified as Bracteantha
comes in many colours and this colour is new to me . Bought earlier this year and really like it. Hope it will stay with me for few years. They are short lived perennials..

I’m liking these too, Klahanie. Love the colouring.

Really sweet little flowers. Could you take cuttings from year to year to make sure you keep the plant Klahanie. I do that with my Blue Salvia. Any spares I give away.

I remember growing these for the girls but I always thought they were called something like Helichyrsum or similar. Perhaps another renaming session?
