Admired for the beauty of its joyful flowers, Helichrysum bracteatum or Xerochrysum bracteatum (everlasting flowers) is a short-lived tender perennial or annual boasting daisy-like flowers, up 1-3 inches across (2-8 cm), adorned with a central yellow disk surrounded by glossy, petal-liked bracts in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, red, pink or white. The petals are lime stiff paper, and they unfold to form concentric rings in bright colors. Blooming from late Spring to the first frost, they rise atop erect stems clad with lance-shaped green leaves.
Wonderful in the sunny boarder or in a vase at home, everlasting flowers are terrific in dried flower arrangements as they retain perfectly well their shape and color.
Happy Wednesday!💝

Surprisingly still flowering after 2 years. The taller Everlasting plants flower for a long time then die.
Botanist Étienne Pierre Ventenat first described the golden everlasting as Xeranthemum bracteatum in1803.
The Latin species name bracteatum refers to the papery bracts.
Known more recently as Helichrysum bracteatum before being transferred to the new genus Xerochrysum in 1990.
X. bracteatum was being cultivated in England by 1791.
German horticulturist Herren Ebritsch bred and sold cultivars of many colors including bronze, white and purple at his nursery at Arnstadt near Erfurt in Germany.
These cultivars were to spread across Europe in the 1850s and were noted as being in Australian cultivation by the 1860's .
