Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about Orange Double Strawflower seed germination, flower preservation, and harvesting.
How do you dry Orange Double Strawflowers for arrangements?
Harvest the flowers when they are partially open and their petals are firm. Remove excess foliage, tie the stems into small bunches, and hang them upside down in a dark, dry, well-ventilated area until completely dry.
Do Orange Double Strawflowers keep their color after drying?
Yes. Strawflowers are valued for their papery bracts, which generally retain much of their orange color and shape after drying. Keeping dried flowers away from direct sunlight and moisture helps preserve their appearance.
When should Orange Double Strawflower seeds be started indoors?
Start seeds indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before the expected last spring frost. Press seeds gently onto the growing medium without deeply covering them, maintain suitable moisture, and transplant seedlings outdoors after frost danger has passed.
