Helichrysum argyrophyllum (Golden Guinea Everlasting)

Helichrysum argyrophyllum, also known as Golden Guinea Everlasting, is a hardy, low-growing ground cover native to South Africa. This evergreen plant forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat with small, silver-grey leaves that add a lovely contrast to its vibrant flowers.

This plant originates in the Eastern Cape. It favours dry places and bare, open, hard ground and grasslands. It is often found growing amongst rocks. This plant is quite adaptable as it grows in both summer and winter rainfall regions, so although it comes from a summer rainfall area, it grows well in the Cape fynbos region.
