Helichrysum argyrophyllum

Helichrysum argyrophyllum, also known as Golden Guinea Everlasting, is a hardy, low-growing ground cover native to South Africa. This evergreen plant forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat with small, silver-grey leaves that add a lovely contrast to its vibrant flowers. Reaching a mature height of about 20 cm and spreading up to 1 metre, it is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an attractive and tough ground cover.

The daisy-like flowers of Helichrysum argyrophyllum have canary yellow rays surrounding a darker yellow centre, and they appear from December to May. The flowers remain fresh on the plant for almost two months and can be cut and dried to create everlasting floral arrangements. The bright yellow straw-like flowers are a striking feature in any garden.

Helichrysum argyrophyllum thrives in full sun and is well-suited to average, free-draining soils. It is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners. The plant may be given a light trim to help maintain its shape and encourage denser growth.
