Xerochrysum ‘Sundaze Lemon’ – Everlasting Daisy

Xerochrysum bracteatum everlasting daisy 'Sundaze Lemon'

A low growing soft-wooded perennial with small dark green leaves and lemon-yellow everlasting flowers that attract butterflies. Great rockery, border or pot plant. Good heat tolerant plant, performs best in full sun but will tolerate light shade. Feed with a good native fertiliser through the warm months to encourage more flowering, and be sure to water in after applying fertilizer to avoid leaf burn. Dry soil conditions will reduce the flowering. To preserve the flowers, pick while they are in bud, dried flowers will last for years and keep their colour.
