Yardsmart: Grow a crop of everlastings

Dry-floral arrangers and crafters call them "everlastings" because the blossoms of statice, strawflower and yarrow don't fade. Why? Because this group produces blossoms that are dry and papery even when newly opened from the bud. Plant them in with your vegetables and harvest a truly lovely crop that will fuel all your gift and decorating projects next fall.
