Yellow Buttons (Chrysocephalum apiculatum) are one of the most reliable and versatile Australian native groundcovers, prized for their bright golden “everlasting” flowers and hardy, drought-tolerant nature. Perfect for Melbourne gardens, coastal landscapes, and low-maintenance planting schemes, Yellow Buttons thrive in full sun and well-drained soils while providing long-lasting colour from spring through summer. With forms ranging from natural and fast-spreading to compact and highly ornamental, Chrysocephalum varieties are ideal for mass planting, edging, rockeries, and erosion control. Their ability to handle heat, wind, and poor soils makes them a go-to solution for landscapers and home gardeners seeking year-round texture and seasonal impact with minimal upkeep.
