Description
Ptilotus, commonly known as "Mulla Mulla" or "Fox Tail," is a perennial plant distinguished by its dense, fluffy flower spikes that range in color from pink and purple to white. Its leaves are elongated and soft green, making the flowers stand out even more.
History and Origin
Ptilotus is native to the arid and semi-arid regions of Australia. It belongs to the Amaranthaceae family and includes over 100 species, with Ptilotus exaltatus being the most popular in gardening due to its striking inflorescences.
Care
Ptilotus is a hardy and easy-to-care-for plant, perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners. It prefers well-drained soil and does not tolerate waterlogging. It is suitable for pots, rock gardens, and garden borders.
Watering
Although it is a drought-tolerant plant, Ptilotus needs regular watering to maintain its vigor. During the warmer months, water deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering.
Pruning
Pruning is not strictly necessary for Ptilotus, but you can trim off faded flowers to promote continuous blooming and keep the plant tidy. If the plant becomes too woody, you can perform light pruning in early spring to encourage new growth.
