Star Flower Seeds
This unique flower is native to Southern Europe. The Star Flower is grown as much for it's seed head as it is for it's flowers. When the flowers fade and the seed head emerges, it looks like a bronze ping pong ball. The dried seed head adds a great, unusual shape to dried flower arrangements.
Star Flower, also known as Pincushions, Drumsticks, and Moonflowers are easy to grow and are tolerant to deer, drought, pollution, rabbits, seashore, slope, and wind.
