Strawflower Planting and Care Guide
Quick Facts About Strawflower
Strawflower is a terrific drought tolerant annual, and it does well in hot, arid climates. Helichrysum produces lovely flowers from late spring until fall frosts. As an added bonus, the flowers can be cut and dried and made into dried floral arrangements. Common names include: Strawflower, Paper Daisy, and Everlasting Daisy. These annuals also attract pollinators to the garden.
Planting Time
For areas with long summers, Strawflower seed can be directly sown in the garden in the spring once frost danger has passed and temperatures are consistently warm. Or, start the seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks prior to the end of frost season for transplanting outside.
Planting Location
Strawflowers thrive in full sun and will tolerate some shade. The soil does not need to be rich, but it does need to drain well.
How to Plant Strawflower
- Use starter trays filled with moistened soil
- Press the seeds into the soil but do not cover - light is needed for germination
- Keep the tray warm and moist for germination - mist from the top daily
- Keep the tray in a sunny window once seedlings emerge
- Pinch the seedlings to promote more branching and to produce a bushier growth habit
- Once frost danger has passed, harden off the seedlings 7 - 10 days prior to transplanting outside
- Or, for outside sowing, weed and work the soil several inches in depth
- Add compost to improve soil
- Smooth the soil down and sow the Strawflower seeds
- Do not cover the seeds
- Keep the area moist for germination
- Thin to the strongest plant about 18 inches apart
Care And Maintenance
- Irrigate regularly to establish the Strawflower plants and during prolonged dry periods
- For the best yields of blooms, keep the plants deadheaded or harvested
- For harvesting, cut when 2 - 3 layers of petal have opened but the center has not been revealed
- Successive plantings can be helpful if production is the goal
- Give the plants a general-allpurpose fertilizer 1 - 2 times during the season to maximize the plant growth

How Much Seed Do I Need?
How to Calculate Square Footage And Purchase the Right Amount of Wildflower Seed In 3 Easy Steps
Before purchasing wildflower seeds to plant your meadow, calculate the square footage of your meadow or garden bed. This guide will walk you through the 3 easy steps, so that you'll know how much seed you need!
1. Measure
For Squares or Rectangles: measure the length and width of the space where you want to plant.
For Circles: find the radius by measuring the widest part of your planting space and divide by 2.
2. Calculate Square Footage
For Squares or Rectangles: length (in feet) x width (in feet) = square feet
For example, a garden that measures 50 feet x 30 feet = 1500 sq. ft.
For Circles: 3.14 x radius (in feet) x radius = square feet
For example, a circular garden that is 20 feet across has a radius of 10 feet. 10 x 10 x 3.14 = 314 sq. ft.
(The mathematical formula for the area of a circle is Π · r2 - the Π symbol is pronounced Pi and represents approximately 3.142, and r2 stands for radius squared.)
3. Find How Much Seed You Need
The amount of seed you should plant depends on the flower display you want. We typically recommend planting on the higher side for a lush meadow. Plant on the lower side for a more scattered look.
For Individual Species: The recommended rates vary greatly from species to species. Check the product page, or contact us with questions.
For Wildflower Mixes: Reference the table below.
| This Much Seed Covers... | This Much Square Footage |
|---|---|
| 1/4 lb | 250 - 500 sq. ft. |
| 1/2 lb | 500 - 1,000 sq. ft. |
| 1 lb | 1,000 - 2,000 sq. ft. |
| 5 lbs | 5,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. |
| 10 lbs | 10,000 - 25,000 sq. ft. |
- 1 Acre = 43,000 sq.ft.
- 1/2 Acre = 21,500 sq. ft.
- 1/4 Acre = 10,750 sq.ft.
- 1/10 Acre = 4,300 sq. ft.
Tips For Larger Plantings: If you have a large site, from 1/2 acre to several acres, your planting rate may be affected by land conditions. If you have heavy weeds on the site now, some erosion, generally poor soil, or other land problems, additional seed is usually the most economical solution, since installation of a large planting usually costs more than the seed itself. If your site does have these problems and you want full coverage, use 1 pound per 1000 sq. ft.
