Verticordia plumosa 'Pink Lace' (Featherflower) - An evergreen dwarf rounded shrub to 18 to 24 inches tall with attractive bluish soft needle-like foliage. Lavender-pink, delicately fringed flowers in tight clusters. Light honey fragrance. Profuse bloom winter and spring. Plant in a sunny location with good drainage and minimal fertilizer. Drought tolerant. Hardy to the mid 20's F°. A 2003 UCSC Koala Blooms Introduction.

The information about Verticordia plumosa 'Pink Lace' displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
