Yellow chasteweed (Helichrysum arenarium) is a drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in sandy, poor soils and full to partial sun, making it very easy to care for once established. Its bright yellow everlasting flowers are long-lasting and excellent for dried flower arrangements. It has a long history of use in herbal medicine and requires minimal watering or feeding to perform well.
