Craspedia 'Drumstick' Seeds
(Billy Buttons)
A little bit wacky, but all the better because of it!
Add a pop of modern, graphic style to your garden and vases with Craspedia 'Drumstick', the iconic 'Billy Button'! This unique plant produces unmistakable, 1-inch, golden-yellow spheres on long, wiry stems. They are an absolute favourite for cutting, adding a playful, structural element to fresh bouquets and lasting forever in dried arrangements.
A must-have for cutting & drying! See our full Cutting Garden Seeds collection and Dried Flowers collection for inspiration. Remember to sow this early in spring - see our Seeds to Sow in February guide! We also sell farm-grown Dried Billy Buttons ready to use!
