🌸 Strawflower brings both versatility and texture to the cutting garden, thriving as a fresh bloom and transforming beautifully when dried for autumn arrangements and wreaths. Its double-layered, blush-pink flowers carry a soft silvery sheen, perched gracefully on tall, sturdy stems. With their romantic charm, they’re a standout choice for wedding bouquets and floral installations. Often called everlasting flowers, their papery petals retain both color and form indefinitely once dried—making them a florist’s dream. Bonus: pollinators adore them.
