Craspedia ‘Golf Beauty’ (P)

Also known as Billy Buttons, Craspedia ‘Golf Beauty’ is a wonderfully unusual plant with tall, upright stems topped with bright golden-yellow, ball-shaped flowers. Looking like little balls of sunshine, the flowers stand proudly above the foliage and bring a fun splash of colour to summer displays.

The attractive silvery-grey, sword-like foliage provides a lovely contrast to the bright yellow flowers, making this a real talking point in containers, borders and patio displays.

The flowers are also fantastic for cut flower arrangements and can be dried, allowing you to enjoy their unusual shape long after the summer display has finished.
