Clustered Everlasting

This long-lived perennial daisy is an excellent plant for any garden. The fine textured silver foliage contrasts beautifully with tight clusters of bright yellow flowers. A plant to brighten the understory of a bush or cottage garden, or to scatter through a perennial border.

 

Flowering from spring through to summer this daisy is an important food source for native pollinating insects such as native bees and butterflies. Carefully prune back old flowering stalks once new growth is visible at the base in early spring.
