Helichrysum bracteatum
‘Monster Fireball Red’
“Giant Red Strawflower”

Big, bold, showy and heat and drought tolerant - this is the TALL species, non-dwarfed by the hand of man! To 4’ tall and 3’ across, it certainly creates a dramatic focal point with substantial 2” brassy red blooms held atop strong multi-branching bright green stems. Beginning in mid-Summer, the blooms last for months in the garden and then, like, forever in dried arrangements. With average-rich, well-drained soil or in a large container you can plant this flashy character in that hottest spot next to the driveway! Self sows!
