Dwarf Mix Strawflower

‘Dwarf Mix’ Strawflower is an old-fashioned annual favorite prized for its brilliant, papery blooms in shades of pink, yellow, white, orange, and red. Compact, bushy plants reach about 12 to 18 inches tall and produce distinctive 2- to 3-inch flowers that hold their color and shape beautifully.

Start ‘Dwarf Mix’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly where conditions allow. Surface sow the seeds without covering, space plants 8 to 12 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This compact variety is well suited to containers, borders, and smaller garden spaces.

Ready to bloom in about 75 to 85 days, plants flower heavily from midsummer into fall. Cut blooms as they open for fresh arrangements, or harvest them for drying to enjoy their color long after the growing season ends.

Colorful, compact, and long-lasting, ‘Dwarf Mix’ is especially well suited for fresh bouquets, dried arrangements, borders, containers, and ornamental plantings.
