Xeranthemum Annuum Alba ORGANIC Seeds

 

Xeranthemum ‘Annual Alba’ (Xeranthemum annuum) is a charming and elegant everlasting flower, producing delicate, papery white blooms that retain their beauty when dried.

 

These daisy-like flowers stand on slender, silvery-green stems, bringing a soft, ethereal quality to borders, wildflower meadows, and floral arrangements.

 

A symbol of immortality and remembrance, this drought-tolerant annual thrives in poor, well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens.

 

Its long-lasting blooms are highly valued for dried flower displays, preserving their shape and colour for months.
