Plants produce mauve colored, 1” flowers atop silvery green foliage. Like strawflowers or ammobiums, they are dry and papery when fresh, but can be used both fresh and dried as a cut flower. Also serves as a great bedding plant in the front border as it grows to about 2’ and flowers for a long period—typically midsummer through autumn. Photo courtesy of Siskiyou Seeds.
