Xerochrysum viscosum

Xerochrysum viscosum, or Sticky Everlasting, is a hardy, clump-forming perennial herb native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, open forests, and along roadsides. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it features narrow, sticky green leaves and bright yellow, papery daisy-like flowers that bloom from spring to autumn. These cheerful, long-lasting flowers add vibrant color to natural and designed landscapes.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun, Sticky Everlasting is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for native gardens, wildflower meadows, and habitat restoration projects. Its flowers are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity. The papery blooms are also suitable for dried floral arrangements, extending their beauty indoors.

With its striking golden flowers, resilience, and ecological contributions, Xerochrysum viscosum is a versatile and visually appealing addition to sustainable landscapes and native plantings.
