Aciphylla aurea, commonly known as Golden Spaniard, is a striking New Zealand native alpine plant valued for its bold architectural form and golden-green, spiny foliage. Naturally found in mountain grasslands and rocky landscapes, it is an excellent choice for native gardens, rockeries, dry landscapes, and restoration planting. This hardy species thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating frost, drought, and exposed conditions once established. During summer it produces tall flowering spikes that attract native insects and add dramatic vertical interest to the landscape.
