Xeranthemum (Greek, dry flower: it is one of the "everlastings"). Compositae. Annual erect herbs, densely pubescent or tomentose, of which X. annuum is one of the oldest and best known of the "everlastings" or immortelles.

Heads rayless, but the large involucral scales are petal-like and persistent, giving the plant its value as a subject for dry bouquets: outer fls. few and sterile, inner ones fertile; receptacle chaffy; involucral scales in many series, of various lengths, glabrous; heads solitary on long naked peduncles.—Four or 5 species, Medit. region.

The culture of xeranthemum is very simple. Seeds are usually sown in the open, where the plants are to stand; but they may be started outdoors and the seedlings transplanted. Hardy or half-hardy annuals.
