Ptilotus clivicola is a small prostrate to upright perennial herb from the south-west of Western Australia, known from only two sites on coarse sand heath. It is a wild native with no established garden or houseplant culture, so care guidance is limited.
Ptilotus clivicola is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a prostrate perennial to upright herb with flat, lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base on the stems, magenta, oval or cylindrical spikes of flowers with five stamens.
This species of Ptilotus grows in heath on gently sloping rises on coarse sand in two separate locations - one near a sand mine south-east of Eneabba, and the other in Lesueur National Park, in the Geraldton Sandplains bioregion of south-western Western Australia.
