hese golden globes go by a few names: , and, our personal. Each sunshine sphere is made up of lots of small florets and the stiff stems burst forth from spindly jadegreen leaves. Despite being native to the more clement environs of Australia and New Zealand, can be grown in the UK from seed. Plan ahead for an autumn bloom by planting indoors in late spring. Place on the surface of a compostfilled tray, sprinkle with sand, then cover with plastic or use a propagator. You can transfer seedlings to little pots, and then move them out to the garden when they have plenty of leaves. These fun flowers also work well dried – you just need to hang them upside-down in a cool, dark place. A gift that keeps on giving.
