Ptilotus Matilda

Ptilotus Matilda is a stunning Australian native perennial admired for its silvery-green foliage and soft, feathery flower spikes in shades of mauve to pink. Flowering mainly through the warmer months, the fluffy blooms rise gracefully above the foliage, creating a striking contrast and adding texture and colour to garden beds, borders, and containers.

With its compact, tidy habit and drought-tolerant nature, Matilda is perfect for low-maintenance gardens, water-wise landscapes, and contemporary native plantings. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and performs best in low humidity environments. Excellent as a feature plant or mass-planted for a dramatic effect, it also makes a great companion to grasses and other dry-climate species.

Light pruning after flowering will encourage a neat shape and prolonged blooming. Hardy once established, Ptilotus Matilda brings a touch of softness and elegance to any sunny garden space.
