Notes
'Apricot/Peach Mix' strawflower (Xerochrysum viscosum 'Apricot/Peach Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and xeriscapes. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. It is a profuse bloomer that is good for fresh or dried arrangements. It sits low on the menu for deer. Drought tolerance makes it easy to care for.
Pairs well with Totally Tangerine dahlia, Lemon thyme, Lemongrass, and Bindweed.
