Winged Everlasting

'Grandiflorum' might suggest something large, but the opposite is true; Ammobium is one of the tiniest flowers we grow on the farm. The plant isn't very tall, maximum 45 cm, but each one will give you 10 to 15 stems with tiny white stars at the ends. Once opened, the flowers are bright yellow. The florets resemble a Strawflower and dry just as well. For drying, we recommend harvesting at the bud stage, but if you dry already opened yellow flowers, you get an interesting white-brown combination that is also worth it. It fits perfectly into wedding floristry, especially wreaths, because it doesn't wilt. For drying, we harvest it the moment the first flowers open. The yellow center of the flower shouldn't be too protruding yet. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.
