Coronidium monticola, commonly known as Mountain Coronidium, is a perennial herb that is native to montane forests, subalpine woodlands, and high-altitude grasslands in eastern Australia, particularly in New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania. It typically grows to about 14 inches (35 cm) in height and features narrow, grey-green leaves. The plant produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers with a prominent central disc, which bloom from January to April, adding a splash of color to the landscape during this period. The flowers are modest in size but can be quite showy when the plant is in full bloom.

Mountain Coronidium is valued for its hardiness and the bright yellow flowers that can enliven rock gardens, alpine collections, and native plantings. It is well-suited to cultivation in areas with cool climates and can be used to add texture and color to borders or as a ground cover. This species prefers well-drained, rocky soils and requires minimal water once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. It thrives in full sun to part shade conditions. While generally disease-free, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
