Coronidium scorpoides (Button Everlasting)
Coronidium scorpoides, commonly known as Button Everlasting, is a hardy, perennial herb native to the Melbourne Sandbelt region. Typically growing to heights of 0.3-1 meter (1-3 feet), it features slender, upright stems and narrow, silvery-green leaves, giving it a distinctive appearance.
This plant produces vibrant yellow daisy-like flowers in spring and summer, attracting a range of pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Coronidium scorpoides thrives in well-drained, sandy or rocky soils and is tolerant of drought conditions. Its resilience and adaptability make it an excellent choice for low-maintenance native gardens, where it can provide a splash of color while contributing to local biodiversity and providing habitat for wildlife.
