Jugflower or woolly bush. Small shrub 3-5’ tall and wide with delightful silver-gray foliage. The 1” scarlet flowers are somewhat hidden but offer a beautiful contrast to the soft foliage. Occurs primarily in sandy, low-nutrient soils and in areas that are dry in summer. Grown for the silver foliage and striking flowers which can be dried or used fresh in arrangements. Requires well-drained soils and some shade especially away from coast. Hardy to 20F. Australia.
