A small, tufted perennial native to eastern and southern Australia, Coronidium scorpioides features solitary, golden-yellow, papery flower heads held above fine foliage, mainly blooming from spring to summer. It occurs in grasslands, open forests, and coastal heathlands, favouring well-drained soils in sunny to lightly shaded positions.
 
The Button Everlasting is valued for its cheerful colour, ability to attract pollinators, and usefulness in both native gardens and revegetation projects where it helps restore groundcover diversity.
