Ammobium alatum
While "Grandiflorum" suggests something large, the opposite is true; 'pískožil' (sandwort) is one of the tiniest flowers we grow on the farm. The plant isn't very tall, a maximum of 45 cm, but each one will produce 10 to 15 stems with tiny white stars at the ends. When open, the flowers are vibrantly yellow. The blossoms resemble strawflowers and dry just as well. For drying, we recommend collecting them at the bud stage, but if you dry already open yellow flowers, you'll get an interesting white-brown combination that's also worthwhile. It's perfectly suited for wedding floristry, especially for wreaths, because it doesn't wilt.
