Ptilotus nobilis is a herbaceous perennial native to the dry, arid plains of Australia. With narrow foliage providing a base for soft cylindrical pale flower heads, the Australian native brings a graceful touch to the garden from July to February. While the long-lasting blooms of the ptilotus appear soft and fuzzy, they feel quite hard and bristly to the touch. Due to their texture, the blooms manage to hold up quite well in various weather conditions. Plant Ptilotus nobilis in sunny rockeries and borders, cottage gardens or a decorative pot. The flowers are also popular in the florist trade - either fresh or as dried flowers. Soil: Well-drained soil. Conditions: Full sun. Heat, drought and frost tolerant. Size: Height 0.30-1m x width 0.50m Show more
