Sowing Instructions:
Sow Helichrysum Bracteatum White seeds indoors in early spring, about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Fill seed trays or pots with well-draining compost and lightly press the seeds into the surface. These seeds require light to germinate, so do not cover them. Keep the compost moist but not waterlogged and maintain a temperature of 18-20°C for optimal germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Once the seedlings are large enough, harden them off and transplant them outdoors after the last frost, to a sunny location with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Space the plants about 25-30 cm apart to allow them ample room to grow.
This hardy annual grows to a height of 40-60 cm, producing an abundance of white flowers from early to mid-summer. Helichrysum Bracteatum White is a low-maintenance plant that requires little care once established, making it an excellent choice for novice gardeners. It thrives in sunny, well-drained locations and is highly drought-tolerant, making it ideal for dry gardens or water-wise planting schemes. Kew Flower House Helichrysum Bracteatum White adds a beautiful, everlasting touch to your garden with its delicate white blooms, and it also makes a stunning addition to dried flower arrangements that will last well into the winter months.
