- Soil requirements: Helichrysum strawflower seeds prefer well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be moderately fertile and have good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun to thrive. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering requirements: Water the seeds moderately. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, strawflowers are relatively drought-tolerant and require less frequent watering.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Helichrysum strawflower seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. They can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch (3 mm) and space them about 12 inches (30 cm) apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: The seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Helichrysum strawflowers usually reach maturity and are ready for harvest in about 75-90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest strawflowers is in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day sets in.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers when they are fully open but before they start to fade. Hang the flowers upside down in a cool, dry, and dark place to dry them for long-lasting arrangements. Store dried flowers in a cool, dry place to maintain their color and shape.
