Craspedia Drumstick

The most geometric flower in the cutting garden. Craspedia produces perfect, smooth, golden-yellow spheres on long, straight, leafless stems — a clean, architectural form that looks as though it has been designed rather than grown, and provides a bold, graphic element in arrangements that no other flower quite replicates.

Dries perfectly, retaining its golden colour for months. Outstanding for contemporary and minimalist arrangements as well as traditional dried wreaths.

• Craspedia globosa — Half-Hardy Annual (H2)
• Height: 60–90cm | Flowers: July–September
• Sow indoors February–April at 20°C; surface sow
• Full sun; well-drained soil — plant out June only
• Outstanding for cutting fresh and drying
• Retains golden colour indefinitely when dried

Grow it with Statice Hipster Mixed and Bupleurum for a cutting garden combination that dries into a winter arrangement of gold, jewel tones, and lime-green.
