A standout for both cutting and drying, Strawflower King Size Frosted Sulphur features large, papery blooms in soft sulphur yellow, glistening with frosted highlights. This tall, freely branching variety from the King Size series brings strong structure and refined texture to the back of borders and professional cutting gardens. The generously sized flowers retain their vibrant color and crisp form indefinitely when dried, making them especially prized for arrangements and craft work.

    Nothing a single one germinated. Really bummed as they looked very cool.

    Strawflower Seeds - King Size Frosted Sulphur

    Store owner replied: Hello Cait. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that none of your Strawflower seeds germinated! Strawflower seeds generally germinate readily, but factors such as fluctuating temperatures, excessive rainfall, drying conditions, or poor seed-to-soil contact can all impact success. Because the seeds need light to germinate, covering them too deeply can also prevent emergence. Soil crusting after heavy rain, weed competition, or allowing the seedbed to dry out during germination may further reduce germination rates. We are glad we were able to connect with you directly and provide a resolution. At Eden Brothers, we're always here to help our gardeners be successful and are happy to offer growing tips and support along the way. Thank you for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to assist!
