Bracteantha (Straw Flower)

Bracteantha, commonly known as Straw Flower, is a genus of flowering plants that belong to the Asteraceae family. They are native to Australia and can range in height from 30 to 100 centimeters, depending on the species. The plants are known for their showy flowers, which have a papery, straw-like texture and come in shades of yellow, orange, pink, and white.

Bracteantha plants have narrow, lance-shaped leaves that grow in a rosette at the base of the plant. The stems are usually wiry and branch out to produce multiple flower heads. The flowers of Bracteantha plants are known for their long-lasting beauty and can bloom for several weeks. Bracteantha plants are easy to cultivate and can tolerate various conditions. They prefer full sun and well-draining soil but can tolerate moderate drought and poor soil quality.
