Strawflowers have fast become one of my favourite flowers to grow on the allotment garden for many reasons! In this video you will find out why I think you should grow them, see how I dry and cut the blooms and I'll demonstrate how to make colourful strawflower bauble decorations. They make perfect handmade gifts and brighten up your home for Christmas, spring or even celebratory events.

Strawflowers are gorgeous. Not grown as much as they should be, I think.

Two years ago, I had so many strawflowers in my garden & I fall in love with them from then. I will dry lots of them this summer too so I can make X'mas decorations. I love this idea and the wreath you made is so beautiful.

@joseabito-on442 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this! ❤️ Strawflowers are my favorites as well! I honestly think they don't get as much love as they definitely deserve. They're mostly just called Everlasting here in the Philippines. People here don't know what you're talking about if you use the term Strawflowers. I've received countless odd looks when I call them that. 😄

You have such Beautiful space around you..A reflection of your inner self 🙂..I just sowed mine 2 days ago, and its pretty sunny in India, and some of them have already germinated..your video was very helpful..Thank you so much ♥️⚘🙂Subscribed.

Ive only just discovered these amazing flowers. I have just a handful looking pretty on my table. I have gathered seeds from one white one. Maybe a silly question but will these seeds only grow white straw flowers?😊

@oliviadabompre7484 3 года назад

My Mum puts hairspray on dried flowers to keep the colours going longer. However, I don't know if it'd work on strawflowers. Thanks for the video!

@catherinebushill5129 3 года назад

I have a sunny spot in my garden, but there’s a large conifer in the garden next door, so very very dry soil. Do you think straw flowers would grow there? We’re struggling to know what to do with that corner! Loving your videos, I’m a complete novice really enjoying my garden and dreaming of an allotment in the future! Just saw on one of your other videos you’re also in Nottingham, so useful to know you have the same sort of weather for planting out guidance etc! ☺️

Excellent! Love what you do with your blooms. This is my second season growing everlastings. Last year I picked them too late. Today I picked them before watching a program on doing it correctly. I watched 3 other 'tutorials' that were not very good. Thank you so much for making this. And love your baubles... what a gorgeous idea!

Extremely popular in Poland and Eastern Europe, connected with folklore and harvest season, and for decoration around homes. My mum gave me few times plenty of seeds, none of them grow them here ( Scotland) and I never seen them here at all. I hoping to try one more time perhaps in more sunny area. Beautiful little plants!

@homegrowngarden 3 года назад

Thanks for watching, I’m so pleased that you found it informative. Remember that strawflower seeds need light to germinate! If your compost is kept damp they should germinate fine. Maybe try a new packet of seed next time in case they weren’t viable. Good luck 🌼

@eldred1809 3 года назад

Great video, thanks for all your work producing it. I like the idea of growing it for beneficial insects, but those seeds give me dandelion nightmares. Does it self -seed much around your plot?

@homegrowngarden 3 года назад

Hey Bev, thank you for watching! It's the first time I have grown it on my allotment but I previously grew it where I work. I'm not giving the plants much of a chance to self seed at the moment because I'm cutting them so regularly but even if they did self seed (which they did at work) they only really popped up where they grew before and didn't seem to spread anywhere else. It's highly unlikely that they would ever become a nuisance plant, if they do pop up where you don't want them they're easy enough to pull out, unlike dandelions. Hope this helps!

@eldred1809 3 года назад
