Ptilotus Joey
It’s full name is a tongue twister, so we just
call it Joey. This 2009 release is native to
Australia, and offers exceptional beauty with the
side benefit of heat and drought tolerance. Large,
3-4" bottle-brush flower spikes are glistening
silver with a darker neon pink colour near the
tips. Rare, very few growers cultivate Joey.

Performance
Excellent as an accent in mixed containers or
as a compliment in annual flower beds, 'Joey' is a
must have in any sunny garden location. Heat
tolerant, but avoid drying out.
