Leptorhynchos tenuifolius
Leptorhynchos tenuifolius, or Wiry Buttons, is a slender, upright perennial herb native to Australia, typically found in grasslands, open woodlands, and rocky areas. Growing up to 30 cm tall, it features narrow, wiry stems and fine, needle-like leaves. Its golden-yellow, button-like flowers bloom in spring and summer, creating a striking contrast against its delicate foliage.
This hardy species thrives in well-drained soils and tolerates full sun and dry conditions, making it ideal for native wildflower meadows, rockeries, and low-maintenance gardens.
With its cheerful blooms, drought tolerance, and ecological benefits, Leptorhynchos tenuifolius is a valuable and versatile addition to native gardens, habitat restoration, and sustainable landscaping designs.
