Easy to grow and visually striking, they’re a top pick for gardeners of all experience levels.
This flower seeds mix produces compact plants reaching 18 to 2 inches tall, crowned with vibrant, 1-inch golden-yellow blooms that form perfect spheres atop sturdy, wiry stems. Flowering from early summer to fall, these globe-like heads add a playful yet elegant touch, blooming anew each day. Their silvery-green, grass-like foliage complements the vivid flowers, ideal as fresh or dried cut flowers for long-lasting bouquets. A favorite in pollinator gardens, they attract bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity while resisting deer—a versatile gem for any landscape.
Billy Buttons thrive in full sun, requiring 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily to showcase their best blooms, though they tolerate poor, gritty soils with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Well-draining conditions are essential—sandy or rocky soils work best—and once established, their deep roots make them exceptionally drought tolerant. They flourish in warm weather between 6°F and 80°F, with good air circulation keeping their delicate stems healthy, even in dry or windy climates.
Sow these Dhara Seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, pressing them lightly into the soil surface—light aids germination in 1 to 21 days at 70°F to 7°F. Transplant outdoors after hardening off, spacing to 1inches apart in a sunny, well-drained spot. For direct sowing, plant after frost when soil warms to 60°F, keeping the surface moist until sprouts emerge. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushiness, and expect blooms in the first year from early starts, with full vigor by the second season.
Keep soil moist but not waterlogged during germination and early growth, watering gently to avoid displacing seeds. Once established, water sparingly—about 1 inch every two weeks during dry spells—focusing at the base to keep foliage dry and disease-free. Their drought tolerance shines through maturity, so avoid overwatering. Mulch lightly with peat moss or sand to retain moisture in hotter climates, ensuring the soil stays well-drained for optimal health.
Craspedia Globosa grows as a perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones 8 to 11, thriving year-round in mild climates. In colder zones ( to 7), it performs as an annual or may self-seed for regrowth. Globally, it suits temperate to warm regions with frost-free summers, excelling where winters are gentle or with mulch protection in transitional zones.
These Dhara Seeds offer a low-maintenance plant with standout appeal. Their hardy nature withstands heat and drought, while their nectar-rich blooms draw pollinators, boosting garden vitality. Perfect for cut flower crafting—fresh or dried—they retain color and shape for months. As a heirloom variety, they bring authenticity and resilience, making them a sustainable choice for borders, rock gardens, or eco-friendly designs with lasting impact.
Plant Billy Buttons in pollinator gardens, borders, or rockeries for a pop of yellow that pairs beautifully with grasses or wildflowers. Use them in containers for patio accents, or mass-plant for a whimsical meadow effect. Their height and spherical blooms make them ideal as mid-border fillers or standalone features, adding texture and charm to sustainable landscapes with minimal care.
