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 with full sun. Half-hardy annual which is ideal for filling a container or planting to the front of a border where its bright, bobbing heads, reaching up to 60cm tall, will delight passers-by.
