Strawflowers

Certified Organic Strawflowers – Nature’s Papery Perfection

Australian Sunshine Meets Driftless Flora Artistry
Marvel at the everlasting beauty of strawflowers, those remarkable papery blooms that maintain their brilliant colors indefinitely once dried. Originally from the sun-drenched plains of Australia, these resilient beauties have found their perfect home in our certified organic gardens at Keewaydin Farms, where Wisconsin’s reliable summers allow their distinctive tissue-paper petals to develop their famous lasting vibrancy.

The Everlasting Blossom
Strawflower (Helichrysum bracteatum), meaning “golden sun” in Greek, showcases nature’s most ingenious preservation system. Unlike typical flower petals, strawflowers feature modified leaves called bracts that feel like crisp parchment and naturally retain their structure and color for years without any treatment. These golden, orange, pink, red, and white blooms maintain their fresh appearance long after harvest.

Solar Collection and Natural Preservation
Our strawflowers bask in full summer sun throughout their growing season, developing the intense pigmentation and sturdy structure that makes them legendary among dried flower enthusiasts. Harvested just before full bloom when their natural preservation qualities are at peak, each flower head is carefully selected and air-dried with minimal intervention – nature has already done the preservation work. This timing ensures maximum color retention and structural integrity.
