Each branch ends in a flattened flowerhead, comprising rings of feathery bracts amongst which the tiny flowers nestle. These flowers are white with long brownish tips and have a faint cinnamon scent. They flower in autumn and winter (May to August), but the flowers themselves are not particularly noticeable unless viewed from close up. It is the buff or grey-coloured bracts amongst which they are situated that attract attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe flowers are followed by fruits, which turn from green to brown when ripe (in October and November). These are hard, 3-valved capsules which split open to each release a dark brown seed with an elaiosome (appendage which attracts animals\/insects) attached.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%!important\" border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePhylica pubecens\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlowering time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight (m)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWidth (m)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eContainer plant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"18\" width=\"24\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/madibri.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tik.png\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2045\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/madibri.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tik.png\"\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower\/Foliage Colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYellow green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAttract Birds \u0026amp; Bees\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg height=\"18\" width=\"24\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/madibri.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tik.png\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2045\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAvailable as Cutflowers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg height=\"18\" width=\"24\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/madibri.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tik.png\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2045\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFrost tolerant\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cimg height=\"18\" width=\"24\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/madibri.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tik.png\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2045\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"18\" width=\"24\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/madibri.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tik.png\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2045\"\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDrought tolerant once established\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cimg height=\"18\" width=\"24\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/madibri.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/tik.png\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2045\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madibri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43141621547257,"sku":"PPVK","price":270.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/1682\/9851\/products\/WhatsApp_Image_2022-10-14_at_16.00.36-removebg-preview.png?v=1665757941","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenvale.co.za\/products\/phylica-pubescens-vir-koppie","provider":"Gardenvale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
