These early flowering straw flowers are beautiful, large, and dark rose in colour. This is an excellent selection with compact growth habit, superior branching and narrower leaves. High-light and cool temperatures will improve plant quality significantly. Origami Dark Rose has excellent summer performance and is very easy to grow. Straw flowers excel in pots, hanging baskets, mixed containers, and flower beds. Deadheading the plant will keep the flowers blossoming. The paper-like feel flowers can be dried.
