Ptilotus exaltatus ‘Joey’ – Pink Mulla Mulla

Ptilotus exaltatus ‘Joey’, commonly known as Pink Mulla Mulla or Lamb’s-Tails, is a striking Australian native plant admired for its distinctive, feathery flower spikes. Its compact growth habit and vibrant blooms make it an excellent choice for adding colour and texture to sunny garden spaces.

The plant produces large, soft, conical flower spikes that begin silvery-white and develop beautiful neon pink to magenta tips as they mature. Its fleshy, silver-green foliage forms a neat mound, creating an attractive contrast with the flowers. Ideal for rockeries, garden borders and patio containers, ‘Joey’ also makes an excellent long-lasting cut flower.

This heat- and drought-tolerant plant performs best in full sun and sharply drained soil. Avoid overwatering and waterlogged conditions, as good drainage is essential for healthy growth.
