The story behind Zara’s Golden Everlasting Daisies
Zara’s Golden Everlastings began as an addition to our established ‘Lucinda’s Everlastings,’ which was named after our first daughter in 2003. Following the arrival of our daughter Zara in 2006, we started production in 2010 and successfully produced our first crop of these stunning golden blooms.
Since then, these seeds have served as a wonderful complement to our pink and whites. As an Australian native termed ‘Showy Golden Everlastings’, they are waterwise, easy to grow, and provide vibrant, low-maintenance color to any garden. Golden Everlastings are a rare species, making them a truly special addition to our collection.

Flowering and Care
Zara’s Golden Everlastings produce bright, sturdy blooms that open in full sun and close at night or during overcast and rainy conditions. Stems are strong and the flowers make excellent cut or dried arrangements, lasting at least a month in a vase. Once established, the plants require very little maintenance, tolerate poor soil, drought, and frost, and are excellent for attracting bees and other pollinators. After flowering, allow the plants to self-seed to ensure a colourful display the following season.
Perfect For Gardens
These are perfect for native gardens, arid environments, garden beds, driveways, rockeries, or as a vibrant pot plant. With their fast growth, long-lasting blooms, and ability to self-seed, Zara’s Everlastings are a reliable, beautiful choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
