Ok, so I know that 2008 is not even close to being done, but I was starting to research new varieties for next year, and this one looks like a winner. Its a completely new genus for the US gardens. Ptilotus doesn't exactly roll off the tounge, so it's probably easier to refer to it by its trademarked name 'Joey' ™
A native to Australia, ptilotus loves the heat and sun. It is very drought tolerant, short growing, and will truly be an attention getter.
It is being introduced into the US by Benary
