Pycnosorus globosus

Pycnosorus globosus, or Drumsticks, is a striking, clump-forming perennial herb native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, open woodlands, and along rocky outcrops. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it features narrow, grey-green foliage and produces unique, spherical golden-yellow flower heads on slender stems. These blooms appear in spring and summer, creating a bold and cheerful display.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Drumsticks is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for native gardens, wildflower meadows, and rockeries. The long-lasting flowers are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies and are also popular for dried floral arrangements, adding versatility to their appeal.

With its distinctive blooms, adaptability, and ecological benefits, Pycnosorus globosus is a standout species for sustainable landscaping, biodiversity enhancement, and ornamental native plantings.
