Apparently I did not know how to grow or maybe I should have pinched them back.I tried and they grew too tall and was just ugly.Before I try again I think I need to read up on them.I may have done something wrong.I love the flowers so I will try and try again.Paulette

Hi...I've been growing straw flowers here for the last few years. It is good idea to pinch them back if you don't want them to get toot all. Other than that, they are marvelous.

You can't find a better flower for drying. Also I grow mine from seed each year. Seed I collected from the flowers the year before. Since these flowers are so easy to grow, I am surprised that more people don't grow them.

How do you get the seed? I would love to do that?
