A beautiful choice for bringing colour and texture to native and cottage-style gardens, wildflower plantings and sunny borders. The long-lasting blooms are also perfect for picking fresh or drying to enjoy in everlasting floral arrangements.

Grow in well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, either in garden beds or larger pots. Lightly frost tolerant, with regular picking of flowers helping to encourage more blooms.
