Harvesting

Strawflowers for fresh arrangements should be harvested when 3-4 layers of petals have unfolded, but before they fully open.
For drying, harvest them when the first 2-3 layers of bracts are opening, or when the center disc is just starting to be revealed. Avoid harvesting over-mature blooms, as they may shatter or fade in colour when dried.
