Craspedia globosa * Billy Buttons

Craspedia globosa has these 1" globes that grow on long stems.  The gray leaves are linear and grass-like.  This makes for an interesting contrast in the garden.  The yellow flowers last for a tremendous time on the plant and dry fantastically.  Craspedia globosa will bloom spring through summer.  I have grown Billy Buttons in east exposures and in full sun.  It has performed well in both.  They work well as a dried flower or as a cut flower.  Craspedia globosa is a native to Australia.  Individual plants will die off but I seem to get enough seedlings to keep them going year after year.
