Chrysocephalum Apiculatum (Common Everlasting), also known as Yellow Buttons or Mallee Buttons, is a hardy Australian native groundcover with soft, silvery-green foliage and cheerful clusters of small, golden-yellow flowers. Formerly known by the botanical name Helichrysum apiculatum, it is a lovely choice for adding colour and texture to the garden.
Easy to grow and low maintenance, Chrysocephalum Apiculatum is ideal for garden borders, rockeries, native gardens and containers. Its spreading growth helps cover garden spaces, while its bright flowers attract pollinators and provide long-lasting seasonal colour.
