Description
Syncarpha milleflora, also known as the 'everlasting flower,' is a captivating South African shrub cherished for its papery, colorful bracts that resemble petals. These bracts surround the inconspicuous true flowers, creating a long-lasting visual display. The color of the bracts varies depending on the species, often with shades of white, pink, or yellow. This plant prefers well-drained, sandy soil and plenty of sunlight. It's a relatively low-maintenance plant once established, and thrives in drier climates. To cultivate, provide a sunny location and avoid overwatering, as Syncarpha milleflora is drought-tolerant.
