Pycnosorus chrysanthes

Pycnosorus chrysanthes, or Golden Billy-buttons, is a striking, herbaceous perennial native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, open woodlands, and along rocky outcrops. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it features slender, upright stems topped with perfectly round, bright golden-yellow flower heads that bloom from late winter to summer, creating a bold and cheerful display in natural and cultivated landscapes.

This hardy species thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, tolerating dry conditions and requiring minimal maintenance once established. Golden Billy-buttons are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity in gardens and wildflower meadows. The long-lasting blooms are also popular in fresh and dried flower arrangements.

With its unique, eye-catching flowers, drought tolerance, and ecological benefits, Pycnosorus chrysanthes is an excellent choice for native gardens, rockeries, and sustainable landscaping projects.
