Chrysocephalum apiculatum, formerly known as Helichrysum apiculatum, is a hardy Australian native perennial herb found naturally across all Australian states and territories. Its remarkable adaptability allows it to thrive in a wide range of environments, and plants can vary considerably in their appearance depending on their growing conditions and origin.
Forms range from upright plants reaching around 60cm tall with narrow foliage to low, spreading plants with broader, fleshy leaves. This natural variation gives the species excellent versatility for Australian landscapes, where it can be used as a colourful groundcover, border plant or feature in native and low-maintenance gardens.
