Chrysocephalum baxteri – Fringed Everlasting

Botanical Name: Chrysocephalum baxteri

Common Name: Fringed Everlasting

Average Height (cm): 40

Average Width (cm): 50

Description:

A compact perennial with silver-grey foliage and clusters of bright white paper daisy flowers with yellow centres in a neat, low growing clump. The foliage is rosemary like and naturally forms a neat clump without the need for pruning.

Garden Design Uses:

Ideal for floral borders and low maintenance areas such as a pollinator friendly native verge.

Care:

Requires sandy or loamy, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates drought conditions once established. I am trialing this plant in my South East Queensland sub-tropical climate at the moment and so far it is growing well on a steeply sloped bank in a sunny position. For inexperienced gardeners it is probably best to stick to it’s natural cool temperate range.
