This 12-inch Strawflower (Bracteantha bracteata) is a vibrant, easy-care annual flowering plant sold in a 3.86-quart container, ready to brighten garden beds, borders, or container gardens. Strawflowers are beloved for their distinctive papery, daisy-like blooms that come in rich shades of orange, pink, red, white, and yellow. Their tidy, mounding growth habit makes them an excellent choice for planting along pathways, in mixed borders with perennials, or on sunny decks, patios, and balconies.

Strawflowers are valued as "everlasting flowers" because the blooms retain their vivid color and shape long after harvest, making them ideal for dried flower arrangements, wreaths, and craft projects. The compact 12-inch variety grows 12 inches tall and wide, forming a neat mound that pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, snapdragons, salvia, celosia, or verbena. These plants are also known to attract butterflies, adding extra life and movement to the garden.

Grow in full sun with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day and well-drained soil or potting mix. Water when the soil feels slightly dry, as strawflowers prefer to be kept on the drier side rather than consistently wet. Feed with a general-purpose or time-release fertilizer to encourage prolific blooming. Pinching off faded flowers can promote additional blooms throughout the season.
