Notes
'Silvery Rose' strawflower (Xerochrysum viscosum 'Silvery Rose') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and xeriscapes. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Profuse bloomers like this one give you rose and white flowers for fresh or dried arrangements.
Pairs well with May Night salvia, Lemon thyme, and Mondo grass.
