Coronidium elatum, commonly known as the white paper daisy or tall everlasting, is a perennial herb native to grasslands and open forests of eastern Australia. It typically reaches a height of 0.6 to 2 m (2.0 to 6.6 ft) and has an erect habit. The plant is characterized by its silvery-green foliage and large, white, papery flowers that bloom from June to November, with peak flowering in September. The flowers are particularly showy, making it an attractive addition to gardens. The white paper daisy is notable for its abundant flowering and rapid growth, as well as its frost hardiness.

This species is valued for its ornamental flowers and is used in garden beds, borders, and as a cut flower due to its long vase life. It is also a popular choice for naturalistic plantings and wildflower gardens. Coronidium elatum thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils. It is drought-tolerant once established, requiring low to medium amounts of water. The ’Sunny Side Up’ cultivar offers gardeners a plant with a more compact form and prolific blooming. While propagation is generally successful from seed or cuttings, care must be taken to avoid rot. Potential problems include susceptibility to root diseases in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
