Golden everlasting (scientific name xerochrysum bracteatum) is an asteraceae herb native to Australia.
Also called strawflower, it is an annual herb that can grow up to 1 meter tall.
The leaves are green or gray and lanceolate, elliptic, or inverted lanceolate in shape.
A characteristic feature of golden everlasting is the presence of thin bracts that resemble flower petals.
These bracts are papery and dry, or 'scarious', with a low moisture content, unlike the leafy parts of other plants.
