Notes
'Cranberry Rose' strawflower (Xerochrysum viscosum 'Cranberry Rose') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and xeriscapes. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. It is a profuse bloomer that makes rose flowers for fresh or dried arrangements. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It is drought tolerant and needs little care.
Pairs well with Bindweed, White sage, and Lemongrass.
