Petrophile chrysantha is a small, spiky shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its cream to dark yellow flower heads that appear from June to October. Like most Western Australian natives, it needs excellent drainage and little fertiliser to thrive.

This petrophile grows in shrubland and woodland between Regans Ford, Eneabba and Marchagee in the Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of southwestern Western Australia.
