PLANT INFORMATION AND
CULTIVATION
Acroclinium roseum (Syn. Helipterum roseum) is a
group of annual plants native to South
America, Africa, Australia, and Tasmania.
Members of the Daisy family, Compositae, the
name is derived from the Greek words helios (sun) and pteron
(wing). Also called Paper Daisies, bear blooms
that retain their color and shape as they dry, thus the name
'everlasting' or Immortelle'. They make excellent dried
flowers for arrangements.
The plants are easily propagated by sowing seed.
FOR TRANSPLANTS: Sow seed in pots or trays. Keep
moist at 70F. Transplant seedlings when they reach 2 inches
tall. Plant outdoors only when temperatures do not fall below
60F. Space seedlings 6-12 inches apart each way. DIRECT
SOW: Sow seed in prepared area planting 1 seed
every 3 inches in rows 6-12 inches apart. Thin seedlings to
