Flambe Yellow Strawflower

Flambe® Yellow Strawflower is a trailing selection of Chrysocephalum apiculatum with yellow button-like flowers above silvery foliage. Proven Winners identifies the selection as ‘Flochryel’ and describes it as heat and drought tolerant, with flowering from spring until frost. ## Size and Use The plant grows about 8–14 inches tall and 8–12 inches wide, with trailing stems that can extend farther. Use it as a spiller in hanging baskets and mixed containers or as a low border plant. The [Proven Winners profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/chrysocephalum/flambe-yellow-strawflower-chrysocephalum-apiculatum) documents its color, habit, size, and uses. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and well-drained soil. The breeder lists USDA zones 9a–10b, and notes that the plant handles heat and dry conditions once established. Its continuous spring-to-fall blooms draw butterflies; spent flowers are quickly covered by new growth, so routine deadheading is unnecessary. ## Maintenance Water during establishment, then avoid keeping the soil persistently wet. In containers, check moisture more often and provide regular feeding for best growth. Trim lightly if the plant becomes tired or overly long.
