Becoming increasingly popular is this most delightful and quirky plant from Australia with narrow, silvery-grey leaves, and bearing on strong, easily arrangeable, wiry stalks globular drumsticks (we are told we should call these glomerules) of bright yellow flowers.
分布範圍
原產澳大利亞東部,包括Queensland, New South Wales, Victorian and South Australia.
It comes from heavy soils on the plains of eastern Australia
(Queensland, New South Wales, Victorian and South Australia).
Although usually grown as a colourful half-hardy annual,it is not that tender and is well worth trying to nurse through an average British winter, with cloches perhaps, when the blooms in the second year will repay the effort taken.
