Strawflower Golden Yellow – MIg

Description

Strawflower ‘Golden Yellow’ is a vibrant, long-blooming flower prized for its papery petals that retain color and shape even when dried. These cheerful blooms are perfect for fresh garden displays or everlasting bouquets. Heat-tolerant and easy to grow, strawflowers attract pollinators and add a sunny splash to borders, beds, and cut flower gardens.

When to Plant in the UAE (Field Planting)

In the UAE, Strawflower Golden Yellow should be directly sown outdoors in mid-October, when daytime temperatures begin to drop below peak summer heat. This timing supports strong germination and flowering through the cool season. Ideal growing temperatures are between 20°C and 29°C.

Tips for Planting

• Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil

• Sow seeds directly onto the surface or lightly cover with a thin layer of soil

• Keep soil consistently moist during germination (usually 7–14 days)

• Space plants 25–30 cm apart

• Once established, water moderately—strawflower is drought-tolerant

• Deadhead faded blooms to encourage continuous flowering

• Ideal for flower beds, borders, pots, and dried arrangements
