Craspedia Sun Ball

Sun Ball is the perfect flower for the gardeners who prefer modern, structural, minimalist design. Perfect orbs sway and bob on strong stems.

These cheery yellow lollipop flowers are a must for the cut flower garden. Insanely long vase life, hold their color when dried, easy to harvest on stiff stems, with grass like rosettes of minty green foliage. Native to New Zealand and Australia.

Includes three young plants, grown in 2.5” diameter pots

Growing Info

How to Plant	Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Fill a little bit of the loose dirt back into the hole and tuck your plant in so the base of the stem is even with the top of the hole. Now fill in the rest of the soil around the roots, give the soft ground around the base of your new plant friend a few solid pats to compress the soil onto the roots, and a long, gentle drink of water
Where to Plant	Find a place that gets a decent amount of sun, in well draining soil
When to Plant	Avoid the heat of the day when planting — plant in the early morning, late afternoon, or by the light of the moon. Plant outside after your average last frost in the spring
When to Expect Blooms	All summer long
Care Instructions	Water regularly until they get established, and then give them extra water during dry spells. Pick blooms to encourage more
Extra Credit	Great for dried flowers!
