Coronidium monticola
Also called Mountain Coronidium
Coronidium monticola is a small, woolly, grey-green perennial daisy from the mountains of south-eastern Australia, with bright yellow to orange flower heads in summer. It is a native of high-altitude forest and herb fields, so it needs cool conditions, good drainage and full light to thrive.
Coronidium monticola, commonly known as the mountain coronidium, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and grows in open forests in eastern Australia. It has woolly, grey-green leaves and mostly yellow flowers.
Mountain coronidium grows at higher altitudes in montane forests, subalpine woodland and herb fields on soils that are rocky and usually well-drained in New South Wales, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory.
