Our range of Bracteanthes (Helichrysum), also known as Australian everlastings, allows you to bring colour and texture to your borders and dried bouquets. Bracteantha bracteata 'Heliana Scarlet' is adorned with intense red, small double flowers; it blooms more and for a longer time than classic strawflowers. Bracteantha bracteata 'Granvia Gold' showcases flowers that are twice as large as those of other strawflowers. These plants are characterised by their long-lasting inflorescences that do not fade.
The Bracteantha genus (synonymous with Helichrysum bracteatum) includes perennial or annual herbaceous plants native to Australia. They have compound flower heads, whose petals are actually rigid and colourful papery bracts, surrounding a central cluster of yellow tubular flowers. The inflorescences can measure up to 6 cm in diameter and are carried by thin and branched stems. The elongated and slightly hairy leaves are greyish-green. These flowers are known for their exceptional longevity once dried, which is why they are frequently used in dried bouquets.
Everlastings are easy to grow in full sun, in well-drained soil. They are drought-tolerant and require little maintenance. They are decorative in borders and irreplaceable for creating dried bouquets.
