| Keywords: outdoor depth of field flower plant This plant originates in the Eastern Cape. It favours dry places and bare, open, hard ground and grasslands. It is often found growing amongst rocks. This plant is quite adaptable as it grows in both summer and winter rainfall regions, so although it comes from a summer rainfall area, it grows well in the Cape fynbos region. It is a low growing groundcover, with small, grey leaves. The flowers are daisy-like with canary yellow rays surrounding a darker yellow centre, flowering from December to May. The flowers remain fresh on the plant for almost two months, and are everlasting if cut and dried. For best results, harvest the flowers within a week of them first opening. Clip them and hang them upside down in a dry room. www.plantzafrica.com/planthij/helichryargry.htm This plant originates in the Eastern Cape.
