Description

A good return to fashion as a cut flower and used fresh with nigellas and cosmos. Also beautiful as an all-winter dried arrangement in a great cloud on their own, or hung as a bunch to decorate hooks or rails. That’s the key with dried flowers — do them big and do them bold.

Care Tips

Feed and deadhead to prolong the flowering period.
