  Xerochrysum bracteatum 'Wallaby Yellow'

The mass flower displays on a lovely, compact mounding growth habit coupled with small dark green leaves and bright yellow everlasting flowers that attract butterflies are the outstanding features of this excellent plant. Great rockery, border or pot plant. It performs best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Keep the water up to it,especially during the flowering period as dry soil conditions will reduce the flowering. Feed with a good native fertilizer through the warm months, being sure to water well afterwards to avoid leaf burn. The silky, papery flowers are great for drying and can last for years when dried properly. Pick in bud and hang upside down till dry.
