Winged Everlasting Seeds – Ammobium alatum – Papery White Daisy Flowers for Cut & Dried Arrangements.
🌼 The Paper Flower That Lasts Forever
Winged Everlasting is a charming, old-fashioned annual that produces small, daisy-like flowers with a bright yellow center and crisp, white papery petals. When dried, these flowers maintain their shape and color for years, looking as fresh as the day they were picked. The stems are unique – they are ribbed and "winged" with thin, leafy edges running down their length, making them interesting even without the flowers. This is a must-have plant for anyone who loves to make dried floral arrangements, or for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, long-blooming white flower.
🌱How to Plant & Grow
- Light Requirements: Full sun (6+ hours of direct sun per day). Will tolerate light shade but will flower less.
- Soil Type: Well-drained, average to sandy soil. Tolerates poor soil and dry conditions.
- Germination Time: 10–20 days at 65–70°F (18–21°C). Light aids germination.
-
Days to Maturity: 90–100 days from seed to first flower.
- Mature Height: 24–36 inches (2–3 feet). Spread: 12–18 inches.
📏Spacing & Seeding Instructions
- Plant Spacing: Space plants 12 to 15 inches apart for good air circulation and full growth.
- Seeding Density (Per Linear Foot): For a row, sow 4–6 seeds per linear foot.
- Seeding Density (Per Square Foot): For mass planting, sow 6–8 seeds per square foot.
-
Sowing Depth: Surface sow. Press seeds gently into the soil but do not cover – they need light to germinate.

🧑🌾 Step-by-Step Planting Instructions
Start Indoors (Recommended for Zones 3–7):
- Fill seed trays with moist, well-draining seed-starting mix.
- Sprinkle seeds on the soil surface. Do not cover. They require light to germinate.
- Mist lightly. Cover with a clear plastic dome to retain moisture.
- Place in a warm, bright area (65–70°F).
- Remove dome once seedlings emerge (10–20 days). Keep soil moist.
- After 6–8 weeks, harden off seedlings over 5–7 days before transplanting outdoors.
Direct Sow (Best for Zones 8–10):
- Wait until soil temperature reaches 60°F (15°C) and all frost danger has passed.
- Prepare a well-drained bed in full sun. Remove weeds and loosen soil.
- Scatter seeds on the soil surface. Press in gently.
- Water carefully with a fine spray nozzle.
- After 3–4 weeks, thin seedlings to 12–15 inches apart.
Ongoing Care:
- Watering: Water regularly until established. Once mature, water once per week during dry periods. The plant is drought-tolerant and prefers dry to medium moisture.
- Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting time. Avoid over-fertilizing (can cause excessive leaf growth and fewer flowers).
- Deadheading: Not required for continued bloom, but cutting flowers for drying encourages more flowers to form.
- Harvesting (Cut Flowers): Cut stems when flowers are fully open. Use in fresh bouquets.
- Harvesting (Dried Flowers): Cut stems just before the flowers are fully open. Hang them upside down in a warm, dry, dark, well-ventilated area for 2–3 weeks. They will hold their color and shape for years.
