This is a NEW addition to our seed line for 2024. 1/2 to 3/4" silvery-white blooms grow on strong stems and make excellent cut fresh or dried flowers. These small blooms make sweet additions to personal flowers (boutonnieres, corsages, and flower crowns) or other dried flower projects.
Approximate Seeds per Packet: approx. 100
Variety/Hardiness: Annual
Sunlight: Full sun
Mature Height: 20-26”
Germination: 4-8 days at 18-21°C
Sowing:
Transplant (recommended): Sow 5-6 weeks before the last frost. Cover the seed lightly.
Direct Seeding: Not recommended.
Care: You can use horizontal netting to support plants to ensure straight stems. We enjoy the whimsy of a curvy stem, however, so this is not necessary!
Harvest:
Fresh: When harvesting choose blooms approximately half open, before the yellow center is exposed.
Dried: Havest similar to fresh use. Hang to dry. Blooms will continue to open during drying.
Note: Green Mist will often self seed in the area it was planted the previous year. Free flowers!
