Notes
'Seashells Mix' strawflower (Xerochrysum viscosum 'Seashells Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and xeriscape. 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 brings yellow, pink, and apricot blooms in a beachy color blend on plants 36 to 40 inches tall. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Purple sage, Bindweed, Lemongrass, and Prickly-pear.
