Helichrysum Bracteatum King Size Salmon Seeds<\/h2>\n

(Strawflower \/ Everlasting Flower \u2014 Salmon, Peach and Coral)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Helichrysum bracteatum King Size Salmon belongs to the same premium King Size series as King Size Red, sharing the same tall<\/strong> 100<\/strong> cm<\/strong> stature, large 4\u20135 cm papery flower heads,<\/strong> strong multi-branching stems<\/strong>, and exceptional performance as both fresh cut and dried everlasting flowers<\/strong>. Where King Size Red delivers a single saturated crimson statement color, King Size Salmon offers something different and complementary \u2014 a mix<\/strong> of soft salmon<\/strong> hues through to dark orange<\/strong>, almost red<\/strong>, creating a naturally blended, warm-toned palette across individual blooms rather than a single uniform color.<\/p>\n

A soft blend of pink<\/strong>, peach<\/strong>, and coral shades paint<\/strong> these beautiful blooms. Large double flowers<\/strong> measuring up to two and a half inches across are available to cut and bring indoors. Strawflowers retain their color when dried, making their appearance fresh or dried virtually the same. The earthy tones of this selection make it easy to pair with so many other colors in the garden.<\/p>\n

Tall, well-branched plants produce double flowers on long stems. King Size Salmon is an attractive mix of salmon, peach, coral, and orange hues \u2014 excellent for creating dried flowers.
\nThe warm, muted earthy quality of the salmon-peach-coral palette makes King Size Salmon one of the most versatile Helichrysum color selections for mixed arrangements and bouquets. The soft tones complement virtually every other cut flower color \u2014 white, cream, burgundy, lavender, dusty rose, orange, and terracotta \u2014 giving it exceptional pairing flexibility compared to stronger, more dominant single colors.<\/p>\n

The substantial blooms are held atop strong multi-branching bright green stems. The flowers are perfect for cutting, they have a subtle silky sheen and are striking in all stages, from bud to fully opened.<\/p>\n

As with all Helichrysum bracteatum varieties, King Size Salmon is a true everlasting flower \u2014 dried blooms retain full color and form indefinitely, making them permanently useful in wreaths, arrangements, crafts, and decorative displays long after harvest.
\nIn Gulf conditions, King Size Salmon performs as an excellent cool-season cut and dried flower crop, sown in autumn for flowering from December through April. The heat and drought tolerance of the species ensures plants continue producing through the Gulf’s warming spring transition period.<\/p>\n

        Seed Germination<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Seed depth: Surface sow \u2014 press gently into soil surface; seeds require light to germinate; do NOT cover<\/li>\n
        • Germination time: 0\u20137 days at 20\u00b0C<\/li>\n
        • Ideal germination temperature: 18\u201326\u00b0C<\/li>\n
        • Surface sow on fine, moist, well-drained seed-starting mix at 20\u00b0C.<\/li>\n
        • Press seeds very lightly onto the surface without covering \u2014 light is essential for germination.<\/li>\n
        • Keep consistently moist throughout germination.<\/li>\n
        • Germination is very fast \u2014 typically within days at the correct temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Growing Tips<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Sow King Size Salmon seeds on the surface of a fine moist seed-starting mix at 18\u201326\u00b0C without covering.<\/li>\n
          • Germination is fast \u2014 0\u20137 days. Once seedlings develop 2\u20133 sets of true leaves, pot up and harden off gradually before transplanting to their final outdoor position 20\u201330 cm apart in full sun.<\/li>\n
          • Helichrysum thrives in well-drained to dry soils of average to low fertility \u2014 avoid rich, wet conditions which promote excessive leafy growth at the expense of flowering.<\/li>\n
          • Water moderately during establishment, then reduce.<\/li>\n
          • Established plants are drought tolerant and prefer to dry slightly between waterings. Do not overwater.<\/li>\n
          • For cut flower use, harvest stems when 2\u20133 flowers on each stem are just beginning to open.<\/li>\n
          • Place immediately in clean water. For dried flower use, harvest when flowers are one-third to half open, tie in small bunches, and hang upside down in a dark, warm, well-ventilated space for 2\u20133 weeks. Once dried, blooms are permanent.<\/li>\n
          • An important note for dried flower harvest: avoid overmature blooms \u2014 blooms that are very open will close in the dark and can appear to be at a good harvest stage while actually being overmature.<\/li>\n
          • Harvest on bright mornings or let harvested blooms set in light for a few hours to identify and discard overmature blooms.<\/li>\n
          • When dried, overmature blooms will shatter and appear discolored.<\/li>\n
          • In Gulf conditions, sow September\u2013October for December\u2013April flowering.<\/li>\n
          • Keep blooms harvested or deadheaded to maximize flower production throughout the season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Gulf Planting Season<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Best sowing time in the Gulf: September\u2013October (indoors or sheltered direct sow)<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Transplanting: October\u2013November<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Expected flowering: December\u2013April<\/strong><\/li>\n
            • Note<\/strong>: Heat and drought tolerant \u2014 productive season extends into spring. Succession sow every 3\u20134 weeks to extend the harvest window continuously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
