- Swiss Giant Mix Strawflower is an everlasting flower with large, papery blooms in vibrant shades of pink, red, orange, yellow, and white. Swiss Giant Mix Strawflower is incredibly long lasting when cut, due in large part to its stiff, papery bracts, which create a beautiful daisy-like effect. Swiss Giant Mix Strawflower is heat tolerant and grows in nearly any well-drained soil. No cutting garden is complete without strawflowers. Swiss Giant Mix Strawflower makes an excellent dried flower, retaining its color and shape for months or even years. Just cut the blooms and enjoy them in DIY craft projects, such as dried flower wreaths.
