The mass flower displays on a lovely, compact mounding growth habit coupled with small dark green leaves and bright purple everlasting flowers that attract butterflies are the outstanding features of this excellent plant. Great rockery, border or pot plant. It performs best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Keep the water up to it,especially during the flowering period as dry soil conditions will reduce the flowering. To dry the flowers, pick in bud and hang upside down. They can last for years when dried.
