Waitzia
From LoveToKnow Garden
Waitzia - Half-hardy annuals from Australia. The four kinds in cultivation are all valuable for their pretty flowers grown for winter bouquets. W. acuminata has a variety with purple flowers, and another with yellow flowers. W. aurea has bright yellow flowers. W. corymbosa has white and purple flowers, and the flowers of W. grandiflora are like those of W. aurea, but finer. All grow about 1 foot high, and should be treated like other tender annuals, such as Rhodanthe. They succeed best in an open position in sandy peat. Seeds. The seedlings should be potted before planting out in May. They flower in August and September.
