Immortelle (Xeranthemum annum), true to its name, brings everlasting enchantment to your garden! These charming paper-textured flowers bloom in romantic shades of white, pink, rose, and purple, creating a delicate, ethereal display that looks like nature's own origami. What makes these blooms truly magical is their ability to retain their beauty indefinitely - they're literally born dried! Perfect for gardeners who love both fresh summer color AND year-round dried arrangements, Immortelle offers the best of both worlds. The silvery-gray foliage adds a soft, moonlit glow to garden beds, while the papery 1-2 inch flowers dance gracefully on slender stems. Whether you're creating romantic cottage garden borders or harvesting armfuls for timeless dried bouquets, these Mediterranean beauties will capture your heart and never let go!

How to Plant Immortelle from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Outdoors: Sow seeds in early spring after the last frost.
  • Indoors: Start seeds 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost for earlier blooms.

Seed Preparation

  • Immortelle seeds do not require stratification.
  • Soaking seeds overnight in warm water can help speed up germination.
  1. Choose a well-drained, sunny location.
  2. Loosen soil and mix in a small amount of compost.
  3. Scatter seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil.
  4. Cover seeds with a thin layer (1/8 inch) of sand or soil.
  5. Water gently and keep the area moist but not soggy.
  6. Germination occurs in 2-4 weeks, depending on temperature.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  1. Use seed trays or small pots with sandy, well-draining soil.
  2. Sow seeds on the surface and cover lightly.
  3. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  4. Maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
  5. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, harden them off before transplanting outdoors.

Pro Tip

Pinch back the stems to promote bushier growth and more blooms. If you’re growing it for dried flowers, harvest when the blooms are just starting to open for the best preservation.

Bonus: Its sunny yellow blooms are perfect for adding a pop of color and texture to dried arrangements!

Getting to know your Immortelle

Immortelle seeds are small, lightweight, and distinctive with a chaff-like appearance. Each seed measures approximately 2-3mm in length and features a fluffy, papery pappus (similar to dandelion fluff) attached to one end, which aids in wind dispersal. The seeds themselves are slender, elongated, and light brown to tan in color with a slightly ridged surface texture. They have a papery quality that reflects the plant's everlasting nature. Seeds are remarkably lightweight, with approximately 2,400 seeds per gram, and maintain excellent viability rates of 75-85% for 2-3 years when stored properly in cool, dry conditions.
