  Rhodanthe anthemoides 'Southern Stars'

A lovely compact mounding everlasting daisy that gets covered in papery white flowers with a contrasting yellow centre from early spring and all through summer. It is best in sunny spots and needs regular watering if in pots, shallow soil and in hot dry periods. After the first flush of flowers in spring, prune back to encourage new growth and more flowering, and feed with a good native fertiliser, and again in early autumn. Makes a great cut flower, and they can be dried for everlasting bunches. For drying, pick in bud and hang upside down for a couple of weeks.
