Craspedia globosa

Craspedia globosa, commonly called ‘billy buttons’ or ‘drumstick flower’, is part of the Asteraceae family and is valued for its perfectly round, golden-yellow flower heads that add unique texture to both fresh and dried arrangements. This hardy perennial, often grown as an annual, thrives in full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate fertility. Craspedia is exceptionally drought tolerant once established and performs beautifully in borders, mixed containers, and cut-flower production.
