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

Chrysocephalum apiculatum 'Silver and Gold', commonly known as Yellow Buttons, is a versatile Australian native groundcover renowned for its attractive silvery-grey foliage and vibrant golden-yellow flowers. This evergreen perennial typically grows to a height of 10 - 14 cm and spreads 30 - 50 cm wide, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, rockeries, and containers. The plant produces clusters of small, button-like flowers from spring through summer (Kambarang to Birak), adding a cheerful splash of colour to the landscape.

'Silver and Gold' thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers well-drained soils, ranging from sandy to loamy compositions. It is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering during extended dry periods. This cultivar is also frost-tolerant and can withstand light frosts. Regular deadheading of spent flowers encourages continuous blooming, and a light pruning after the main flowering period helps maintain its compact form. In Perth's climate, applying a layer of mulch around the base can assist in moisture retention and temperature regulation during the hotter months.
