3634 Ptilotus Joey ( Ptilotus exaltatus )
Great for water-saving gardens, cutflower arrangements, and containers, really nice in hanging baskets.
Masses of 3 to 5 inch wide, soft lavender and white fuzzy flower spikes from late spring until frost provide plentiful cut flowers.
When backlit by the sun, blooms shimmer in shades of silver and neon pink. Easy to grow 16-18 in. tall, plants with unique silver-green leaves, look nice massed in the landscape, added to mixed borders, planted in containers.
A heat and drought tolerant Australian native.
