A low growing soft-wooded perennial with grey-green leaves and yellow everlasting flowers. Great general garden or pot plant and cut flower. Good heat tolerant plant, performs best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Dry soil conditions will reduce the flowering. Feed with a good native fertiliser during warm weather. To preserve the flowers, pick while in bud and hang upside down until dry.
