The strawflower name does not disappoint; these flowers really do appear like colored straw. An everlasting cut flower, the stiff, papery bracts never wilt! Swiss Giants are extra-large, double blooms on long stems in many delightfully bright shades; great for borders and attracting pollinators. Plants thrive in heat and tolerate drought.

    My strawflowers didn’t come up. It is my first time growing strawflowers so I was disappointed that they didn’t come up. I didn’t have any problem with the zinnia seeds that I planted.
