Diagnosis:
C. australasica ‘Durhams Emerald’ is a heavy bearer during
Summer to late Autumn, with continual light cropping all year around.

Xerochrysum bracteatum 'Diamond Head'
Owing to the exposed position this plant grows in, it has developed a stable prostrate habit which reduces its height to
approximately 8cm. Flower heads are held above the level of the plants
adding about 8cm to its height during the flowering season which begins in
early November and continues through to mid February. Overall height,
therefore, is approximately 16cm. Individual plants will grow to
approximately 60cm across and are perennial. Leaves green, approximately
7cm long and about 5mm wide. They are rough to the touch due to a covering
on both upper and lower surfaces of short stout hairs. Flowers bright
yellow, approximately 3cm across. The ray florets are papery and remain on
the plant for some months. The centre of each flower head is orange.
DIAGNOSIS:The main feature which distinguishes this cultivar from other
forms of <X. bracteatum> is that of its height and perennial habit.
