Craspedia, Drumstick Flower Seeds
Heirloom.
A florist favorite, craspedia adds intrigue to the garden with clusters of sunny orbs and is dazzling in cut or dried arrangements. 1″ globes made up of over 100 tiny, mustard-yellow flowers on long stems. The blooms may look delicate, but the plants are tough, tolerating drought, heat, and heavy, poor soil. This pollinator-attracting flower is commonly known in its native countries of New Zealand and Australia as Billy buttons.
