Mohave Strawflower 200MM

Bracteantha Mohave Assorted

I am Mohave Strawflower. My family originated from Australia.

Habit Shrub - Prolific blooms

Plant family Asteraceae

Also knows as the Strawflower or Paper Daisy I am an Australian native daisy. I produce a mass of papery flowers in a range of bright colours for most of the year. As the Mohave series, I am an improved form with a consistent compact habit and intense flower colours. Once established I am heat, drought and light frost tolerant. I am an excellent choice for garden beds, rockeries, containers and great in hanging baskets. My blooms attract a broad range of native bees and pollinators. I am a great choice for along pathways and anywhere where my bright colours and tidy habit will be appreciated. I make a great and long lived cut flower and can be dried for long lived colour indoors.
