I am an unusual native shrub with deeply divided feathery foliage and large, pink to mauve flowers in spring. I am a cone flower and my flowers are fringed with many delicate petals arranged around a cone shaped centre. I do best with full sun and excellent drainage. I am happy grown in containers. I can be pruned to shape after flowering but only very lightly.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My mauve flowers have fine petals around a central cone from mid winter to early summer
My flowers attract native bees and beneficial insects
I am a hardy and unique Australian plant with unusual blooms and architectural foliage
