The awesomeness of strawflowers, in the garden and beyond

Ministry Of The Fence / October 1, 2023

There are so many wonderful flowers that can light up an early autumn garden but I can’t think of one that brings so much to the party as Strawflowers, also known as Paper daisies. Gorgeous colours? Check. Easy to grow? Check. Some weird attribute that makes it a stand out? I think blooms that have the feel of crisp paper is wonderfully weird. So, check! And then there’s all the fun D.I.Y. crafty possibilities that the cut flowers offer. Huge check!

Orange strawflowers

Those crispy, papery petals of Xerochrysum bracteatum aren’t really petals at all but bracts. The actual petals that make up the true flower of the plant are part of the dense disc you see in the centre of each bloom. Native to Australia, they’re members of the Aster family and, when situated well (see below) can bloom continuously from June through September.

They light up the garden with super saturated colours including jewel-toned purples, golds and oranges and they add wild texture (who can resist touching the blooms and giving them a little squeeze to test their crispness?). But that’s not all. Strawflowers are accommodating and beneficial to pollinators. They even help out the gardener by bringing brightness to drier parts of the garden.

Strawflower basics

Of course, every plants has its peculiarities…

Tricky things you should know

and then there’s the D.I.Y. fun

After your strawflowers have done so much for the garden, they still offer more. Later in the fall when you might be staying indoors a little more and your fingers are itching to make something marvellous with some of your garden’s bounty, all you’ll need is some dried strawflower blooms and, quite possibly, a glue gun. 

FLORAL WREATH: I’ll admit it. This idea came directly from Captain Obvious. But hear her out. When it comes to dried flowers, few plants offer more colour options that dry beautifully without loosing their colour intensity than strawflowers. When you want to make a vibrantly hued wreath, seasonally-themed or otherwise, strawflowers are your best bet. For inspiration and how-tos, check out Wildflora’s DIY Straw Flower Wreath page.

HANGING ORNAMENT: Essentially, you take a globe of some sort and cover it with dried strawflower heads. Then add a ribbon loop for hanging. Voila! The globe can be made of plastic, in which case you attach the flower heads with a glue gun. If you have a styrofoam ball, you can attach the flowers with floral pins. For great inspo, check out Fine Gardening’s Easy To Make Strawflower Ornament video.

GARLANDS OR LEIS: Stringing flowers together to make a lei or a garland may sound like the simplest craft of all but just google Strawflower garlands and prepare to be awe-struck. For the patient craftsperson with plenty of time on their hands and tons of strawflower blooms, the colour-gradient garland may be your ultimate challenge. Blooms are first sorted by colour and intensity of colour from light to deep and then strung on a thread or cord in precise order so that the colours fade from intense to pale and back again as your eye follows the line up. Or you can just buy one.

3D ART COLLAGE: Take one shadow box (available through Michael’s), remove the display board and glue the flowers onto it in some kind of artful manner, then put the shadow box back together. Easy peasy. Or you can just buy it.

Where to buy

Seed packets of mixed colours are available in store in Canada and online from Canadian retailers including:

• Circle Farms, an urban farm in Calgary, Alberta

• The Seeds Company by E.W. Gaze in St. John’s, Newfoundland

Single colour seeds are a little harder to find but you can find Apricot Peach strawflower seeds from The Incredible Seed Co. based in Nova Scotia.

Johnny’s Selected Seeds, based in Maine, in the U.S., ships to Canada and offers Vintage White strawflower seedsand Silvery Rose strawflower seeds.

I hope I’ve inspired you to sow some strawflower seeds indoors this coming spring and add some crispy awesomeness to your late summer garden.
