Chrysocephalum apiculatum ‘ Mallee Buttons ‘

Chrysocephalum apiculatum, commonly known as Mallee Buttons or Yellow Buttons, is a hardy, low-growing Australian native plant valued for its bright golden flowers and silvery-grey foliage. It forms a spreading, ground-hugging mound that typically grows around 20–40 cm tall and can spread up to 1 metre wide.

The plant produces masses of small, rounded, button-like flowers in vibrant yellow to golden tones. These papery blooms appear mainly from spring through summer and often continue for long periods, adding cheerful colour to the garden. The flowers also hold their shape well when dried, making them suitable for dried flower arrangements.

Mallee Buttons thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They are highly drought-tolerant once established and perform well in sandy or poor soils. This plant is ideal for rockeries, borders, native gardens, and coastal landscapes. It is also excellent for erosion control and for softening edges in garden beds. Low-maintenance and resilient, Chrysocephalum is a reliable choice for adding long-lasting colour and texture to the landscape.
