With rows of dazzling white petals surrounding a yellow centre, Xerochrysum bracteatum 'White' boasts large, semi-double, daisy-like blooms that have an unusual papery texture. This upright annual is prized for adding to flower arrangements – either fresh or as a dried flower. Its common name of 'everlasting flower' refers to this Xerochrysum's ability to last indefinitely when dried, retaining both its colour and shape. A lovely choice for cottage garden borders, cut flower gardens and patio containers, creating a long-lasting display throughout the summer. Height: 75cm (29"). Spread: 50cm (19").
