Chrysocephalum semipapposum is naturally found throughout Australia predominantly in the south-east regions.  It appears in grasslands, woodlands or in the mountains in rocky sites on the coast and inland.  

It prefers an open sunny position and grows in most well drained, gritty-sandy moderately fertile soils and is frost and drought tolerant.

Clustered Everlasting is grown for its spreading habit and bright yellow flowers. It is planted in small or native gardens in perennial borders or used in rockeries. It is suitable for coastal or inland regions establishing in 1-2 years but is short lived. It is also grown in containers or used in roof gardens and is ideal for rocky sites in the tablelands. Under cultivation it is commonly regarded as an annual. ID 1837
