Description
Acroclinium 'Sensation Giants Mix', also known as Helipterum roseum, is a lovely mix of Australian everlasting daisies. It blooms all summer with large, very double flowers in shades of pink and white, around a yellow or black centre. The daisy-like flower heads have a glossy papery texture that captures and reflects light and colours. They rise above a grey-green foliage of helichrysum. Grown as annuals, these tender plants from arid lands tolerate drought and heat. They are perfect in containers, borders, and of course in dried or fresh bouquets.
The Australian everlasting daisy, sometimes called Rhodanthe chlorocephala subsp rosea, or more poetically rose everlasting, is a frost-tender perennial plant from the Asteraceae family, just like daisies and asters. It is native to the Southwest of Australia, in a Mediterranean climate with wet winters and dry summers. This fast-growing plant, mostly grown as an annual in our climates, is particularly suited to harsh conditions and drought. Plants in this selection grow in clumps, branching from the base, with leaves, reaching about 50 cm in height, their bushy silhouette resembles that of curry plant (Helichrysum italicum). The slender, elongated foliage covering the stems is silver-green. Flowering occurs from July to October, in 5 cm diameter heads. These inflorescences are architectural, with a double collar formed of dry, pearly bracts that reflect light, around a yellow or black centre circled in yellow. They tend to close in overcast weather.
The Australian everlasting daisy is ideal for borders, sunny beds, and rockeries, provided the soil is well-drained. Place this plant in the foreground and combine it with California poppies that also prefer poor soils. It harmonises perfectly with mugworts or bushy salvias in a dry garden. It also adapts very well to container and pot cultivation. Its flower buds already offer decorative appeal. It is perfect for creating fresh or dried bouquets, soft and refined. To make dried bouquets, it is advisable to pick the flowers before full bloom, tie them in bunches with raffia, and hang them upside down in a dark, cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Sow Acroclinium Sensation Giants Mix from March to early May on the surface of a good seed compost. Germination takes 14 to 20 days at 18-25 °C.
They can also be sown directly in place in April, at a depth of 6 mm, in moist and well-raked soil, spacing the seeds 25 cm apart.
Transplant the young plants into trays or pots with an 8 cm diameter and let them grow in cooler conditions. Once well developed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days and plant them outside in May after all risk of frost has passed. Space the plants 30 cm apart. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
Cultivation:
This plant is very easy to grow and does not require any specific maintenance. It thrives in poor, light, well-drained soil, but requires plenty of sunlight to flourish. When grown in pots, watering should be regular but not excessive throughout the growth and flowering period.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
