Pierrot Red Helipterum Seed
About this variety
Pink and black paper daisies.
Pierrot Red has pink flowers, most with a striking black center and a few with golden centers.
Productive, base-branching plants carry small, 1–2" upward-facing daisies with papery petals on thin, wiry stems that are easy to cut and strip. They last a long time in the vase and dry well. Plants are a little short for cutting, about 18–24". Also called acroclinium, immortelle or paper daisy.
Flowers about 55–65 days from sowing, on plants 18–24" tall. Open-pollinated.
