Days to Maturity: This plant has a relatively short maturity period, taking around 70 to 80 days from planting to reach full maturity.

Sun Preference: The Winged Everlasting thrives in full sun conditions, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and blooming.

Plant Type: As mentioned earlier, the Winged Everlasting is classified as an annual plant. This means that it completes its entire life cycle within a single growing season and typically dies off after producing seeds.

Appearance : characterized by their papery, daisy-like blooms with white, yellow, or pinkish petals surrounding a central disc. One of the most notable features of Ammobium flowers is their long-lasting nature. Even after being picked and dried, the flowers retain their shape, colour, and papery texture, making them popular for dried flower arrangements and crafts.

Harvesting :   Ammobium flowers are typically harvested when the blooms are fully open but before they begin to fade. They are then dried upside down in a well-ventilated area to preserve their appearance.

Vase life: Vase life can be expected for 7 days or longer. Dryable options include hanging upside down in a dark and warm area until stems are strong. Blooms continue to open while drying.

Special Features: In the language of flowers, Ammobium is often associated with endurance, immortality, and everlasting love. It symbolizes longevity and the ability to withstand challenges.

Design features: I love these little papery blooms, So stunning in wearable as well as arrangements and installations. They will be used as a floating flower or a supporting flower.
