Description
Above slim, silver foliage, numerous, tiny, star-shaped blooms form 2″–3″ pincushion-like flowerheads with a light scent that will draw you in, along with pollinators. This native Australian wildflower that was brought to the U.S. in the early 1800s is a soft, fragrant beauty that will charm you. Plants bloom for about 8 weeks; succession planting will extend the bloom period. Fairly drought tolerant; also known as didiscus. Perennial in USDA zones 7 and warmer, although usually grown as an annual.
Variety Information: 2″–3″ flowers are lavender blue, pink, or white.
