A seed worth growing
Winged Everlasting Ammobium Seed
About this variety
A charming, uncommon everlasting.
Plenty of silvery white flowers, 1/2–3/4" across, on stiff stems. Usually grown for drying, but also nice fresh, and tiny enough for boutonnieres and flower crowns.
Papery petals open to reveal bright yellow centers; cut at half open, before the centers show. The name comes from the ribbed, winged stems. Hoverflies and wasps visit open flowers. A tender perennial in Zones 9–10, usually grown as an annual.
Flowers about 70–80 days from sowing, on plants 20–26" tall. Open-pollinated.
