Amanda from High Mowing’s Procurement team says: “Roggli Riesen Strawflower is one of my favorite flowers to grow and dry for decoration. I love that they can be enjoyed all year round as part of wreaths or flower arrangements, and the bright mix of colors really brings a lot of joy in the long Vermont winters. If you’ve never tried your hand at dried flowers, these are a great variety to start with – easy to grow, easy to dry, and they hold their color well.”
