Chrysocephalum apiculatum

Chrysocephalum apiculatum, or Yellow Buttons, is a low-growing, spreading perennial herb native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, woodlands, and open forests. It features soft, silvery-grey foliage and bright yellow, button-like flowers that bloom profusely from spring to autumn, adding a cheerful splash of color to native landscapes.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Yellow Buttons is highly drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for waterwise gardens, rockeries, and borders. Its dense, spreading habit suppresses weeds, while its flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting local biodiversity.

With its striking appearance, adaptability, and ecological benefits, Chrysocephalum apiculatum is a versatile addition to native gardens, habitat plantings, and sustainable landscaping projects.
