Rhodanthe citrina

I first fell in love with this charming little native while hiking in Kosciusko National Park.  It grows wild there, all throughout the alpine mountains and grassy meadows.  It appeared to be a small, tufty little thing, with barely any stem, but I thought that the flowers were so sweet and unique that I became determined to find the seed and grow them at home.  And I did. 

They germinated quite easily in winter and as they grew I was so surprised at how the stems kept reaching higher and higher.  They grew to at least 30cm, showing how different flowers can be when cultivated as opposed to growing wild.  They have dried incredible well, with semi sturdy stems, and soft, mustardy yellow blooms.  They give texture and warmth to vases and arrangements, and are spectacular in wreaths, flower crowns, and garlands.  I look forward to growing these again, and I hope that you fall in love with them like I have.
