Syncarpha canescens
everlasting
Description
Syncarpha canescens, also known as everlasting flowers, is a charming shrub celebrated for its long-lasting, papery bracts. These bracts surround the tiny, inconspicuous flowers and retain their color and shape even when dried, hence the name 'everlasting'. The plant features narrow, silvery-grey leaves that add textural contrast to the garden. Syncarpha canescens prefers full sun and well-draining soil, making it relatively easy to cultivate in dry climates. It's commonly used in flower arrangements and crafts due to its durable and attractive blooms. Propagation is typically achieved through seed or cuttings. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth. This is a good plant for any garden with a sunny spot!
