Syncarpha dregeana
everlasting
Description
Syncarpha dregeana, commonly known as the everlasting flower, is a South African shrub prized for its long-lasting, papery flowers. The flowers are white to pink with a yellow center, appearing in clusters. These flowers retain their color and shape even when dried, hence the name 'everlasting'. It prefers full sun and well-drained, sandy soil. This plant is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping. When cultivating, cut the flowers for drying before they fully open. This plant is a wonderful addition to any garden.
