Coronidium glutinosum Plant Care

Coronidium glutinosum (Coronidium glutinosum) belongs to the Asteraceae family within the Coronidium genus. Coronidium glutinosum is native to Queensland, Australia.

Coronidium glutinosum displays a low spreading groundcover growth habit, reaching up to 0.5 ft tall with a spread of approximately 1.5 ft. Coronidium glutinosum produces small daisy-like flowers in various colors.

Leaf size: approximately 2 inches.

Water a young or newly planted Coronidium glutinosum every 7–10 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established shrubs mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

Coronidium glutinosum thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Coronidium glutinosum tolerates temperatures of 50–80°F. Coronidium glutinosum prefers humidity levels of 40–70%.

Well-draining sandy soil mix with added organic matter. Good drainage is essential for Coronidium glutinosum to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed Coronidium glutinosum every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the rate on the label. Established shrubs in good soil often need little extra feeding, so let weak growth or pale foliage guide you.

Stop feeding by late summer so new growth can harden before winter.

The PlantoScan app can remind you when to water and when to fertilize each plant.

Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-draining sandy soil mix with added organic matter. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

Coronidium glutinosum is suited to USDA Zone 12a.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped shrubs in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

Coronidium glutinosum can spread to about 2 ft (0.5 m) and reach about 1 ft (0 m) tall. Space plants about 2 ft (0.5 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune Coronidium glutinosum while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the shrub in one year.

Coronidium glutinosum is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 12). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

Coronidium glutinosum can be propagated through seeds, division of clumps. Similar propagation techniques also apply to boorman's everlasting plant care, which shares the same genus.

Coronidium glutinosum is susceptible to aphids, whiteflies, spider mites. Inspect the foliage regularly, especially along leaf undersides and stems. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil to prevent spread.

Coronidium glutinosum grows outdoors in USDA Zone 12a. It survives winters down to planting zone 12a. Coronidium glutinosum is native to Queensland, Australia. In cooler regions, grow Coronidium glutinosum as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
