Familiar native wildflower with golden globe flowers on slender stems. Happiest inland in dry air, well-drained soil and full sun; although as they appear almost everywhere in Australia and often on heavy or rocky soil, they're worth a whirl in your back yard.
We are testing this resilience of this plant to long-distance shipping, so for now it's QLD only, sorry. If they do well, we will expand shipping to other states.

APPEARANCE : Familiar native Australian wildflower with round deep yellow flowerheads on slender grey-silver stems. Foliage is slender, low-growing, grey-green.ORIGIN : Native to much of the inland east and south, from SE QLD to southern NSW, across VIC and SA

PLANTING : Plant in well-drained soil, especially sand or clay, in full sun in the garden. Wild habitats often flood in winter so try it on heavier soils too.
CARE : Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Chop off old stems after flowering to encourage dense growth; and fertilise with a slow release native fertiliser in spring.
MATURE HEIGHT & WIDTH :50 cm H or more x 30-50 cm W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
