Winged Everlasting Seeds — Ammobium alatum

A Timeless Everlasting for Cutting & Drying

Winged Everlasting (Ammobium alatum) is a charming Australian native that has earned its place in cutting gardens around the world. Papery white daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centres are held on distinctive winged stems, blooming prolifically from summer through to autumn. They are beautiful fresh in the vase and absolutely stunning when dried — retaining their crisp white petals and golden centres for months or even years.

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-raising mix in spring — do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Transplant seedlings to a sunny, well-drained position once large enough to handle, spacing 20–30 cm apart. Ammobium thrives in full sun and sandy or poor soils — avoid overwatering. Harvest stems for drying when flowers are just opening for the best results; hang upside down in a warm, airy spot.
