Gold color shining thru back of leaf is amazing. Very healthy plant.
Beautiful and healthy
I received my Melanochrysum in a reasonable amount of time and it was packaged very well. But almost every leaf had significant browning, blemishes and holes. I think there was only one leaf that had only one small blemish-the rest had several or large blemishes. I live in the subtropical U.S. and have it outside in a shade house to protect it from the heat and strong sun. It has put out maybe three leaves since I got it, which is good. But the entire rest of the stem looks awful so I guess I will have to propagate it to get a plant that doesn't look very damaged. The leaves on mine were small, maybe 3 inches. It was well rooted, and I appreciate that. It's just for the price I didn't expect all of the leaves to arrive with significant cosmetic damage.
