Description:
Ptilotus Joey is a free-flowering plant that is highlighted by spires of large, feathery flowers which appear from late spring to early summer. Treat this plant as an annual, or, at best, a short-lived perennial in ideal conditions. Being a native to Central Australia, Ptilotus love dry, arid conditions and Joey is no exception. Ptilotus Joey is a hybrid based on P. exaltatus. It offers exceptional beauty with the side benefit of heat and drought tolerance. Large, conical spikes of feathery flowers sit atop thick, silver-green foliage. Grows approx 40cm tall. Great for pots.
