Comments:
Plants from Australia and are heat and drought tolerant. Treated as an annual in most of the USA, since it has such a small area of hardiness. Flower head looks like pink bottlebrushes above grayish grass-like foliage. Inflorescence begans as silvery, then pink tips on individual florets and finally the entire inflorescence is pink.
