The plants have attractive button-like blooms of flowers that are small and have white petals with a yellow centre.

The stems are of slender, woolly, silvery-green or grey with an unusual external ribbing. Native to Australia, this is an excellent flower for the cutting garden.  As soon as the Alatum flowers open about half way they are cut, tied in small bunches, hung up-side-down and dried in warm, well-ventilated rooms. Ideal for beds or small-space gardens.
