Silvery grey buds on white, downy stems, open to bright, yellow daisies, 30-40 mm across with 15-30 bright yellow ray florets and deep golden yellow disc florets. The flowers are carried well above the leaves on thin, wiry stalks 100-150 mm long. The flowers do not close overnight and occur year-round and are most prolific during autumn to spring. They attract lots of insect pollinators such as bees, wasps and butterflies. The flowers are followed by heads filled with black seeds which are wind-dispersed. | Silvery grey buds on white, downy stems, open to bright, yellow daisies, 30-40 mm across with 15-30 bright yellow ray florets and deep golden yellow disc florets.
