Ptilotus manglesii
Ptilotus manglesii

One of the standouts of the genus, Ptilotus manglesii with its rose tipped flowers is making its mark in nurseries.

Found from Geraldton through to Albany in Western Australia, this is a brilliantly coloured variety, and it will flower from summer into autumn.

Its natural habitat is in gravelly soils in woodland areas, so good drainage is essential to grow it successfully in the garden.

The brilliant flowers make this s useful plant for the native garden or indeed a cottage garden that receives good sun. It is suited for mass planting or for use as an edging plant.

Care

Similar to other Ptilotus species, drainage and good sun are the key to growing these native plants. In eastern states it is rain and moisture through the winter in poorly drained soils that cause  most problems.
