Ozothamnus Red Gingham - rice flower
Gingham says cowboy shirts at a hoedown, a picnic blanket spread under a shady tree, tablecloths at your neighbourhood trattoria. If there's gingham about, there's good times to be had.
This lovely native rice flower starts off in cherry-red bud and pops open to strawberry-pink flower clusters on top of tall feathery stems. It's great at the coast and in pots, in cottage gardens and sensory gardens, in vases indoors, and for bee and butterfly picnics too.
