Cut Flower Ammobium Winged Everlasting Seedling Pack

Sale price$35.00
Ammobium Winged Everlasting:

Ammobium alatum

Cut Flower Ammobium Winged Everlasting seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.

Ammobium is like a cross between matricaria and strawflowers with statice like stems - dainty papery daisy sprays that are perfecting for dried floral work or used as a filler in bouquets. 

Autumn planted ammobium will form a large clump, so like statice I would allow a good 30cm between plants, and provide some support as these stems can get tall! 

Pack of  6 Ammobium Winged Everlasting Plants 

Standard NZ shipping included. If you are rural, please select the rural option at checkout to avoid delays in processing your order

NOTES ON GROWING

Height: 40cm+

Spacing: 25cm- 30cm

Harvest: Ammobium can be harvested when the flowers are starting to open but are not showing their yellow centres - they will continue to open when picked. You can also tell by the feel of the stem if the flowers are ripe, similar to zinnia or strawflower - floppy stems on the plant will be floppy stems in the vase. 

Vase life: 7 days fresh, or everlasting dried

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
