Pierrot White Helipterum Seed
Unique black-and-white color combination.
Pierrot White provides a distinctive, moody look for both cut and dried florals, though the plant stature is a bit short for cutting (approximately 18-24"). Productive plants produce relatively small, 1–2" upward-facing, daisy-like flowers with papery petals. The flowers have a long vase life and also make excellent dried flowers. Plants are basal branching, which makes the thin, wiry stems easy to cut and strip. Helipterum is also known as Acroclinium, immortelle, paper daisy, Australian everlasting, and everlasting daisy.Specs:
