Mohave® White Strawflower (Xerochrysum bracteatum ‘Mohave® White’)

Mohave® White Strawflower (Xerochrysum bracteatum ‘Mohave® White’) is a vigorous flowering annual prized for its large pure white blooms, outstanding heat tolerance, and long-lasting garden performance. Blooming continuously from early summer until frost, this striking variety adds brightness, texture, and pollinator appeal to garden beds, borders, patio containers, and cut flower gardens.

The oversized papery blooms feature crisp white bracts surrounding golden-yellow centres, creating a clean, elegant display that complements both colourful and monochromatic plantings. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators while maintaining their shape and colour exceptionally well, making them one of the best flowers for fresh bouquets, dried arrangements, wreaths, and floral crafts.

Its compact, well-branched habit produces abundant blooms throughout the growing season and stands up well to heat, drought, and challenging summer conditions. Mohave® White is especially valued for its reliable flowering, low-maintenance nature, and outstanding cut flower quality.

In Alberta, Mohave® White Strawflower performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and regular watering during establishment. Once established, it thrives in warm, sunny locations and continues flowering through periods of heat and dry weather.
