description for "Perennials: Helipterum sp."
A long show of color is what you'll get with this Helipterum variety. Commonly known as Strawflowers, this dazzling collection includes a mixture of red, white, pink and carmine colors. With papery stiff petals, these long lasting blooms often resemble artificial looking flowers. This long lasting trait makes them a great choice for bouquets,as well as cut or dried flower arrangements. Used as an annual in most zones but are hardy in zones 9-11. Edited by S. Derr
