Beautiful wish I could grow it but I'm in the wrong climate

@gjones it a lovely plant to have in the garden they flower all year in the tropics and blooms last a couple of months, what looks like the flower is actually bracts the flowers are tiny white flower that poke out the side of the cone 😉👍

@nej I have a friend in Sydney who has tried to grow it and gets plenty of foliage but no flowers, still loves it anyway said its a good ground cover but it dies back every winter 🙁🙂

Dies back on the Sunshine Coast too.
