Organic Cornucopia Strawflower Mix HEIRLOOM Strawflowers are magic. Easy to grow in any soil, in any season, they quickly grow 4+ feet to become a stout forest green hedgerow of jewel-colored fireworks that don't stop from early July to a month after first frost.

Their cut, dried flowers will last for years, retaining their color & shape with astonishing grace. For the best dried flowers, harvest seed heads when they are 20-25% open: strawflowers continue to mature after harvest & if you harvest when they're already open, they'll mature into their seed stage. We dry them in a warm place out of the direct sun, most of their leaves removed, before tucking them into inkwells & old mason jars.

We also love weaving them into softneck garlic braids. It's the simple things :)
