Also known as Paper Daisies or Everlasting Flowers these tall, bright, mix of coloured flowers make a gorgeous addition to the garden.

The petals (which are in fact actually bracts) are stiff and paper-like and rustle when you touch them.

They make excellent dried flowers. To dry them, pick when the foliage is dry and the flowers are open. Tie in small bunches and hang upside down in a dry, well-ventilated place.
