Description
This unique beauty has the benefit of being heat and drought tolerant too! Large, conical spikes of feathery flowers top the thick silver green foliage. The 3-4 in. flower spikes are glistening silver with a darker neon pink color near the tips. Use as an accent in mixed pots and containers or as a compliment in your annual flower beds. 12-15 in. tall
Start seed 6-10 weeks in advance of intended date for moving plants to the garden. Cover seed lightly with soil. Germinates best at 25°C usually in 5-7 days. Transplant at the 3 leaf stage and maintain 24-26°C temperatures and keep moderate soil moisture levels – do not saturate soil and allow to dry out between waterings. Over-watering will stunt growth. Fertilize every 2 weeks with 10-52-17 and liquid seaweed for strong healthy plants. Garden spacing 18 in. apart.
