The Monstrosum strawflower assortment belongs in the horticultural context of Xerochrysum bracteatum, formerly Helichrysum bracteatum.
Botanical names and group identity
The conspicuous papery structures around each head are involucral bracts, not petals. Their texture explains the lasting appearance of the heads when dried. Garden forms extend the colour range beyond the yellow wild form.
Papery bracts and mixture names
Tall Double Mixed and Tom Thumb Mixed distinguish the listed stature and mixture names.
