Leucogenes

Leucogenes acklandii

Leucogenes grandiceps is a low-growing perennial that typically reaches a height of approximately 15 cm. It features a woody base and semi-upright stems adorned with small, wedge-shaped leaves that are soft to the touch due to their downy silver hairs. In early summer, this plant produces clusters of small, flat yellow flower heads, which are encircled by woolly white bracts at the ends of the stems.
