Calocephalus brownii
Cushion Bush
Commonly known as the Cushion Bush, Calocephalus brownii is an impressive Australian native grown for its colourful stems and great form. It produces silver stems which grow with a twisted manner and result in the plant having a ball shape, hence its common name. Tiny, silver-grey leaves are held tightly against the stems. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide, performing best when grown in fill sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, coastal conditions, wind, and extended dry periods. The Cushion Bush is commonly included in a mixed or border planting, used to line an entranceway, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools and the like, maintained in a container, used in Mediterranean themed gardens, or planted anywhere this unusual looking plant can be appreciated.
