Chrysocephalum apiculatum Desert Flame

Desert Flame is a native perennial that will grow to spread from the crown to a width of 0.5m. Stems lie flat along the ground with the tips which bear the flowers turning upwards to a height of 15cm. Use as a ground cover plant among trees and shrubs or as a border in open garden beds. If planted above a retaining wall it will spill down the wall bearing masses of small golden yellow heads which contrast well with the silver leaves. Desert Flame gives a blaze of bright yellow/orange colour.
