It thrives in well-drained soils within grasslands, open woodlands, and rocky outcrops, preferring full sun.
 
The Golden Billy-buttons are valued for their long-lasting flowers, attraction to pollinators, and suitability for native gardens and revegetation projects, adding vibrant colour and structural interest to the landscape.
