Yellow Buttons (Bridgewater Bay)

Chrysocephalum apiculatum Bridgewater Bay

The perfect balance of performance and presentation

Chrysocephalum apiculatum ‘Bridgewater Bay’ Yellow Buttons is one of the best-performing improved forms of the common everlasting, combining the toughness of the species with a denser, more refined habit and standout silvery foliage. It produces masses of bright yellow button flowers over a long season and is particularly valued for coastal and exposed landscapes.
