Helipterum Seed ( Paper Daisy, Everlasting Daisy )
Paper Daisy seeds can be started indoors 6 weeks before the end of frost season. Press the flower seed into the soil and keep them moist. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into larger pots for continued growing. Harden the seedlings for 10 - 14 days, and transplant them outdoors in later spring once frost danger has passed.
For areas with long growing seasons, prepare a weed free seedbed loosening the soil and raking it well. Sow the seeds directly in the seedbed and press the flower seeds into the soil. Thin to strongest plant every 8 - 10 inches. Helipterum will bloom usually within 12 weeks of sowing the flower seeds.
Pierrot Paper Daisy is a charming annual wildflower admired for its delicate daisy-like blooms in shades of rosy pink, white, and soft blush tones surrounding bright golden-yellow centers. Native to Australia, this easy-growing flower produces masses of cheerful blooms that dance above fine, airy foliage throughout the summer season. Its graceful appearance and excellent drying qualities have made it a favorite for cottage gardens, wildflower plantings, and everlasting floral arrangements.
Garden Uses: Pierrot Paper Daisy is ideal for cottage gardens, cutting gardens, wildflower meadows, borders, containers, rock gardens, and pollinator plantings. Its soft pastel colors blend beautifully with strawflowers, baby's breath, larkspur, cosmos, alyssum, and ornamental grasses. The blooms are also highly valued for fresh bouquets and dried flower arrangements where their delicate beauty can be enjoyed long after harvest.
Growing Information: Sow seeds directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed or start indoors several weeks before transplanting. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Paper daisies thrive in average to poor soils and often perform best when not heavily fertilized. Space plants 8 to 12 inches apart for good airflow and healthy growth. Once established, they tolerate drought reasonably well and require minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading may encourage additional flowering.
