Craspedia globosa, commonly known as billy buttons or drumstick flower, is a distinctive perennial herbaceous plant native to Australia and New Zealand, widely appreciated for its unique spherical flower heads and exceptional durability in gardens and floral arrangements. Belonging to the Asteraceae family, it forms a basal rosette of narrow, silvery-green to gray-green leaves that are softly textured and slightly hairy, giving the plant a muted, ornamental foliage effect. From late spring through summer, upright, leafless stems rise well above the foliage, each topped with a perfectly rounded, golden-yellow inflorescence composed of hundreds of tiny, tightly packed florets. These bold, button-like blooms are long-lasting, retaining their color for weeks on the plant and drying naturally without losing form, which makes Craspedia globosa especially popular for cut and dried flower use. The plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, showing excellent tolerance to drought once established and performing best in sandy or gravelly substrates. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal fertilization and infrequent watering, and is well suited to xeriscapes, rock gardens, and modern landscape designs. In addition to its ornamental value, Craspedia globosa is attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies during its flowering period. Its clean architectural form, resilience, and striking blooms have made it a favorite among gardeners, landscapers, and florists seeking a plant that combines visual impact with practicality.
