Description
Silver Sunburst is a selected form of Chrysocephalum apiculatum which produces an abundance of dainty bright golden button flowers in clusters above the broad silver foliage from spring to early summer.
Grows best in full sun and will tolerate part shade. It is adaptable to most well drained moist soils, and requires summer watering when conditions are very dry, will tolerate light frost. Ideal for rockery plantings and can be used along pathways to create a colourful low level border.
CARE: It is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help establish the plant. It is beneficial to follow up with the occasional reapplication of fertiliser and apply as required. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds. This plant requires little maintenance other than the removal of spent flowers.
USES: Silver Sunburst forms a thick mound that is useful in
