Craspedia 'Sun Ball'
Craspedia globosa
Craspedia adds the perfect amount of whimsy to wildflower and garden-style designs. Just look at this bridal bouquet here, paired with feverfew and garden roses, SO GOOD. It's a long-lasting cut, but also retains it's color dried. I love having dried craspedia on hand for bouquets and boutonnières all season long.
Packet contains approximately 50 seeds.
