Coronidium scorpioides

Coronidium scorpioides, or Button Everlasting, is a hardy, herbaceous annual or short-lived perennial native to Australia, often found in grasslands, woodlands, and disturbed areas. Growing up to 60 cm tall, it features narrow green leaves and bright yellow, button-like flowers with a papery texture that bloom from spring to early summer, adding vibrant colour to natural and cultivated landscapes.

This adaptable species thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun, making it suitable for rockeries, native garden beds, and wildflower meadows. Button Everlasting is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, and its flowers are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The long-lasting blooms are also ideal for dried floral arrangements.

With its striking appearance, resilience, and ecological benefits, Coronidium scorpioides is a versatile and visually appealing choice for native gardens and restoration projects.
