FLANNEL FLOWER actinotus helianthi

• Age
  • August 2006 three planted in middle garden.
  • Indigenous to local area
• Where it's Growing
  • Reasonably sheltered positions that recieve alot of morning sun, then dappled sun in the afternoon.
• Upkeep
  • Fragile little plants. I'm always loosing branches and things off them. They seem to need a fair bit of water, mulch and fertilisers aswell.
• Growth Patterns
  • Slow growing but occassionally when the conditions are perfect, they will have a big growth spurt and look great. Until the white cockatoos come along and break big branches off them! (true story)
  • Flowers mid Spring
• 
• Future Notes
  • I gave the 3 new plants in the centre of the garden some liquid fertilisers today. So we will see how they react (26.9.06)
  • 12.8.07- We now only have two left and one of them is on its way out. The last one remaining is actually doing ok. So far.
