Common everlasting is a cheerful Australian native perennial prized for its bright golden-yellow button flowers and silver-grey foliage. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and is highly tolerant of dry conditions once established. Trim lightly after flowering to encourage a compact shape and repeat blooms.
