Individually these flowers are tiny yet each head produces up to 20 flowers and when bunched together the plants make a dazzling display of small colourful ‘wreaths’ particularly if two or three coloured plants are planted close together in borders.
The white powdery stuff is their pollen. 🙂

Very striking flowers! I’ll bet the bees or butterflies are attracted to that bright pollen. 🙂

Bees yes, Butterflies not so much (they’re being kidnapped at the moment by my Lantana and Honeysuckle!) 🙂

You can keep them in quite small pots so you can fill a large space or as small as you like. All they need is warm sun and a little water! 🙂
