Ptilotus Exaltus ‘Joey’

12 07 2017

Here’s a shot I got at the rock garden at Green Spring Gardens. Is this not the cutest little plant? It looks like hundreds of little hot pink lipsticks. Each spike is only about 3-4″ tall. It’s a drought tolerant and heat resistant plant from Australia. It’s called Mulla Mulla or Joey Lamb’s Tail (Ptilotus Exaltus ‘Joey’) How’s that for a name?

Just saw this post. I have started lambs tails from seed and was planning to put in a flower bed until i read that they don’t need much water or don’t like humidity. Now I am wondering if they will grow here. I live in NE Okla where we get lots of humidity. Will still try as my plants look great!
