Description:

Bracteantha Kimba Peach grows quickly and naturally forms a neat rounded clump with little help. The flowers are a gorgeous ombre colour from cream to peach with bright orange centres. The flowers are papery and long lasting. A hardy plant that does well on neglect in dry spots and with reasonable drainage.

Bracteantha Kimba Peach is an easy care plant with cream to peach bicoloured flowers that are papery and long lasting. It is great for landscapes, rockeries and containers.

Garden Design Uses:

Ideal for a cut and come again garden as the flowers form quickly and the more you cut the more you get. The flowers last a very long time in a vase and can also be dried. Looks beautiful in a pot too as it keeps a neat compact shape and flowers for such a long time. In cottage style gardens plant at the edge or next layer back to enjoy colour all year around in your flowering borders.

Care:

Prune lightly once or twice when young for a nicer shape. It is hard to sacrifice your first flowers like this, but I do recommend it with all paper daisies so you establish a better habit from the start.
