Coronidium gunnianum
Coronidium gunnianum
Coronidium gunnianum, or Pale Everlasting, is a hardy, herbaceous perennial native to Australia, commonly found in alpine and subalpine grasslands, open woodlands, and rocky slopes. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it features soft, silvery-green foliage and clusters of papery, pale-yellow daisy-like flowers that bloom in spring and summer, creating a bright and cheerful display in natural and cultivated landscapes.
This drought-tolerant species thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to light shade. Pale Everlasting is low-maintenance and ideal for rockeries, native garden beds, and wildflower meadows. Its flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, supporting local biodiversity, and are long-lasting when cut, making them a popular choice for dried flower arrangements.
With its striking blooms, resilience, and ecological benefits, Coronidium gunnianum is a versatile and visually appealing addition to native gardens and restoration projects.
