This entry has yet to be reviewed and approved by L2G editors.
Flossflower is an old-fashioned tender perennial that is widely used as a bedding plant in temperate zones. This Mexican native has a dense, bushy habit and produces many tassel-like flowers or blue, purple, pink or white all season. There are many cultivars, The 'Artist' series is a vegetative series that is more compact and flowers more consistently than seed cultivars. Floss flower usually performs well in full sun. However in hot-summered climates floss flower will need filtered sun. In mild winter climates, it may provide winter color. Use in annual beds or container gardens. Floss flower is seldomly bothered by deer.
