Description

Helichrysum bracteatum Silvery Rose is distinguished by its large pink flowers with silvery reflections. Its heads, which never seem to fade, are perfect for making the lovely dried bouquets that are in fashion today. Everlasting flowers are appreciated for their long and generous summer flowering, as well as for their ease of cultivation. They like heat and sun and tolerate drought well. This annual, 80 cm tall plant, will find a place in a flowerbed, a border, or even in the vegetable garden. Sow under cover in March-April, or directly in the garden in April-May.

From the Asteraceae family, like sunflowers or daisies, Xerochrysum bracteatum is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Australia, grown as an annual in our latitudes. The everlasting flower is also known as Helichrysum bracteatum or Bracteantha bracteata. The Silvery Rose variety is covered from July to October with heads of approximately 4 cm in diameter. They consist of a yellow centre of fertile flowers surrounded by pink bracts with a cream-white reverse, giving them a silvery appearance. The bracts do not fade, making the everlasting flowers perfect for making dried flower bouquets. Harvest the flowers before they fully open and hang them upside down in a well-ventilated, dark place to dry. Then remove the leaves and let your creativity flow.

With their height of 80 cm, the King Size Silvery Rose Helichrysum will find its place in the vegetable garden, where traditionally cut flowers are planted, in a flowerbed or a border along with perennials or other annuals whose flowers can also be dried. Consider Achillea ptarmica Weihenstephan with lovely white flowers, the Rosy Veil Gypsophila with fluffy pink flowers, and the Flamingo Feather Cockscomb Celosia with mauve-pink flowers.

Planting and care

The Silvery Rose everlasting flower can be sown in March-April, either under a frame or in a pot indoors. The ideal germination temperature is 18 to 20 °C. Sow your seeds in a mixture of garden soil and compost. Germination can take between 15 and 20 days. Once the seedlings are strong enough, transplant them into pots and plant them in the garden once the risk of frost has passed, with a spacing of 35 to 40 cm.

You can also sow directly in the ground in April or May, once the soil has warmed up and the frost has passed. Thin out your seedlings to keep only the most developed plants and maintain a distance of about 40 cm between each plant.
Pinch the young plants to encourage branching and remove faded flowers as they appear.

Helichrysum bracteatum plants appreciate warmth and sunny, or slightly shaded, positions. They grow best in rich, neutral, light, and well-draining soil. They tolerate drought, although regular watering during flowering helps to obtain more developed plants. They also tolerate poor soils or partial shade, but they will be less floriferous.
