Half-hardy Biennial. These hardy plants are grown for their extremely long-lasting flowers which are perfect for an airy effect in a dried arrangement or as an addition to a fresh floral arrangement. It has light, airy, sharply angled stems that are completely covered with delicate clusters of tiny papery flowers. The inner part of the flower is often white, and the outer part has a bright and long-lasting color (yellow, lavender, pink, white, blue, red), even when dried. The foliage is long and leathery. The stems often have "wings." To dry the flowers, cut just before the flowers open and tie the stems together in bunches. Hang them upside down in a cool, dry place that is not exposed to sunlight.
