Bracteantha (Strawflower)
Color Name: Cottage Ice
Cottage Ice Strawflower features bright white daisy flowers with gold centers. Admired for its flower power, Cottage Ice puts on a show from spring until fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting and drying. Its narrow leaves remain dark green in color throughout the season. It is an excellent choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers. It is often used as a 'filler' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination, providing a mass of flowers against which the thriller plants stand out.
Growing Tips: This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in city environments.
