Chrysocephalum semipapposum, commonly known as Clustered Everlasting, is a perennial herb native to a variety of habitats across Australia, including grasslands, open forests, and woodlands, particularly in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, and Tasmania. It typically grows to a height of 24 inches (60 cm), with some varieties reaching up to 40 inches (100 cm). The plant has a bushy habit with silver-grey stems and branches. Its foliage is narrow and grey-green, providing a contrasting backdrop for the bright yellow flower heads that appear in dense clusters from late winter to summer, offering a long flowering season. The flowers are small but numerous, creating a showy display that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Clustered Everlasting is valued for its low maintenance requirements, drought resistance, and ability to adapt to a range of soil types, although it prefers well-drained soils. It is often utilized in gardens for its ornamental qualities, serving as an excellent choice for rockeries, borders, and as a ground cover. Additionally, its use in soil stabilization and erosion control makes it a practical choice for environmental restoration projects. In cultivation, it requires full sun to part shade and minimal water once established, reflecting its adaptation to dry conditions. While generally pest-free, it can occasionally suffer from root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
