The narrow grey-green foliage provides a soft, airy texture, while clusters of small creamy-white flowers appear through the warmer months before developing into the distinctive inflated seed pods that add ornamental interest. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, Gomphocarpus performs best in a sunny position with well-drained soil and tolerates dry conditions once established. Its informal growth habit makes it ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife gardens and naturalistic plantings. This hardy and low-maintenance plant brings movement, texture and ecological value to the garden while serving as an important host plant for butterfly larvae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"948\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"918\" data-end=\"927\"\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"930\"\u003e• Shrub - Medium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"1007\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"966\"\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"969\"\u003e• Height: 1.5–2 m\u003cbr data-start=\"986\" data-end=\"989\"\u003e• Width: 1–1.5 m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1035\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003eAspect:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"1023\"\u003e• Full Sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1119\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1051\"\u003eFlowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1054\"\u003e• Flowers in Spring\u003cbr data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1076\"\u003e• Flowers in Summer\u003cbr data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1098\"\u003e• Flowers in Autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1173\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1139\"\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1142\"\u003e• Creamy white\u003cbr data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003e• Pale green\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1436\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1194\"\u003eKey Attributes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1197\"\u003e• Bee Attracting\u003cbr data-start=\"1213\" data-end=\"1216\"\u003e• Bird Attracting\u003cbr data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1236\"\u003e• Butterfly Host Plant\u003cbr data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003e• Drought Tolerant\u003cbr data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003e• Fast Growing\u003cbr data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003e• Perennial\u003cbr data-start=\"1310\" data-end=\"1313\"\u003e• Suitable for Cottage Gardens\u003cbr data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1346\"\u003e• Suitable for Wildlife Gardens\u003cbr data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1380\"\u003e• Suitable for Waterwise Gardens\u003cbr data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003e• Unusual Seed Pods\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1566\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1451\"\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003eToxic if ingested.
