This is a low spreading ground cover that will scramble over rocks or uneven ground. It is a perennial with lax stems and narrow hairy leaves. It produces a mass of small open faced daisy type flowers most of the year, particularly during summer. It can be invasive if not controlled and grows in moist disturbed areas. It also has escaped into coastal dunes and other exposed disturbed sites.

These delightful Australian perennials come in a range of colours such as yellow, pink, mauve, pale and deep blue and appear from late winter to autumn. With their delicate flowers and soft feathery foliage, cut leaf daisies are surprisingly hardy and are an excellent feature in a water-wise garden. They thrive in full-sun and will tolerate frost.

This Australian annual or shortlived perennial, varies in habit from prostrate to a shrubby plant of about 1 m in height. The leaves are grey-green in colour and the deep golden flower heads are borne from spring through to late winter. The individual flowers are formed into a large cluster surrounded by large papery bracts. The Golden Everlasting Daisy has been cultivated for many years and a number of improved forms have been selected for cultivation.
