The Story
In true strawflower fashion, these are very late to flower—but they’re worth the wait.
Absolutely stunning blooms with dark orange petals and bright yellow centers that live up to their fiery name. Excellent for bouquets and ideal for drying, as the flowers retain their vibrant color. Plants are tall, upright, and non-branching, with sparse foliage.
Plant Information:
- Days to Maturity: 85 days
- Height: 30–40"
- Type: Annual
- Pollination: Open-Pollinated
- Attributes: Fresh or dried flower
Seed Specifications:
- Approximately 50,000 seeds per ounce
Growing Instructions:
- Direct seed in mid-spring or start transplants 6–8 weeks before the last frost.
- Sow seeds on the soil surface (they need light to germinate) and lightly water in.
- Space plants 12–18" apart.
