Coreopsis
Coreopsis lanceolata
This attractive perennial forms
tufts of leafy stems to 60cm in
height.
It is extremely floriferous and is
covered in golden yellow daisy
like flowers in spring and
summer.
It produces masses of freely
germinating seeds and is an
environmental weed even in
areas with poor quality soil.
The plant produces an abundance of seed which freely
germinates ensuring this short lived plant can maintain a
weedy population, often from an initial single escaped plant.
This plant should not be grown in areas where it can escape
the garden and establish in nearby natural areas.
Ensure effective disposal of garden waste.
Golden Everlasting Daisy
Xerochrysum bracteatum
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.
