Actinotus helianthi - Flannel Flower
Actinotus helianthi, commonly known as Flannel Flower, is a perennial herb native to eastern Australia, particularly found in New South Wales. It typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 1 meter and is well-suited to heathlands, open forests, and rocky outcrops, often thriving in sandy or well-drained soils. The plant is easily recognized by its soft, velvety, grey-green foliage and distinctive creamy-white flower heads, which resemble daisies and bloom primarily in spring and early summer. It plays an important role in supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies, contributing to local biodiversity.
