Calocephalus sonderi
Also called Pale Beautyheads
Pale beauty-heads (Calocephalus sonderi) is a small, silvery-grey annual daisy from grasslands and open woodland in south-eastern Australia. It is a wild species rather than a common garden plant, so it needs open, sunny, free-draining conditions like its native habitat.
Calocephalus sonderi (common name pale beauty-heads) is a plant in the family Asteraceae, found in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales.
It was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1859. The specific epithet, sonderi, honours the German botanist Otto Wilhelm Sonder.
