A
Description
The classic dried flower, available in more than 14 natural colours, is rustic just cut and hung in the kitchen or place in a vase or jug and bowl once dried. Alternatively, add others to make a beautiful long lasting composition.
Culture
Easy. Sow seeds in trays in March or direct in open ground in May. Plant at 30-50 cm distance in neutral pH.
Harvest/Use
{Associate}
Cut fully open blooms in full sun and hang upside down in an airy place, avoiding exposure to sunlight. Keep cutting as each bloom opens all summer long. Once open flowers will spoil if rained upon; dead head and await the next blooms.
