Chrysocephalum Hybrid Desert Flame, also known as Chrysocephalum Apiculatum, Yellow Buttons, and Everlasting Daisy, is an evergreen perennial in native Australia. It has light frost tolerance, overwintering in climates that don't drop below 25 degrees. Easy care and massed flowering make this plant worth growing as an annual or overwintering indoors. Hybrid Desert Flame has a decumbent habit, with stem tips and blooms that turn up 5-7" and spread 15-20". Once established, Chrysocephalum is drought tolerant, long-blooming, and not prone to pests or disease. Yellow button-like flowers contrast with silver-green foliage as a groundcover or spilling over a rock wall or container. Mass plantings make lovely, bright borders that bloom from spring through summer.

It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
