Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

"Desert Flame", a hybrid of Chrysocephalum apiculatum, is widely recognised for its continuous bloom throughout the year. Its dainty yellow button-like flowers, also known by the common name Yellow Buttons, light up garden beds and homes alike. A standout for its resilient nature, silvery foliage and vibrant floral display, this plant becomes an obvious choice for those wanting a touch of brightness all year round.

Ideally suited for ground planting, it can also grace pots, hanging baskets, and indoor settings. When planting in the ground, especially in sandy soils, consider mixing in a soil conditioner for improved vitality. "Desert Flame" thrives in full to partial sun, with moderate watering needs, and will benefit from a light application of general-purpose fertiliser during Djilba (early spring). To maintain a compact appearance, consider light pruning during Makuru (winter).
