Bountiful, golden drumstick flowers, closely resemble quirky pom poms, from June to August. Flowers are grown on strong, stems which tower over narrow, grass-like, silvery-grey foliage, retained from March to October. Blooms are attractive to pollinators and make an unusual inclusion in floral arrangements, either fresh or dried. A favourite with florists because of their longevity in a vase or bouquet. Craspedia globosa 'Manolo' is native to Australia and New Zealand. Flowers are frequently referred to as glomerules, with their spherical forms made up of hundreds of tiny flowers clustered together. As they fade blooms mature to form equally attractive seedheads, so any not cut for arranging can be left for wildlife at the end of the season. Craspedia globosa ‘Manolo’ prefers a spot in well-drained soil of any kind except acidic with a position in full sun. Half-hardy (H3) perennial and most often grown as an annual bedding plant, reaching up to 60cm tall with a spread of 40cm.
