Description
Mr Fothergill’s Helichrysum Silvery Rose Seeds, Great for dried cut flower displays. To dry, cut before flowers are fully openand hang upside down in an airy place.
Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 0.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C. is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm apart to other trays when large enough to handle. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm apart, when frosts are over.
• A half hardy annual, flowers the same year as sown
• Stylish blooms for lasting dried flower displays
• Create charming contrast to other garden blooms
