The Xeranthemum flower is a tall flower with white petals. Xeranthemum flowers are part of the Xeranthmaceae family.
Xeranthemums bloom in the summer and autumn, which makes it a pretty common flower to see around that time.
Xeranthemum flowers grow from bulbs beneath the soil, but they only flower for a short period of time. Xeranthemum plants can grow up to 3 feet tall.
Xerophyllum
Xylobium
Xylosma
Also known as brushhollies, xylosmas, or, more ambiguously, “logwoods”
Xyris Difformis

They grow to between 30–150 cm high with alternate leaves and yellow flowers that turn reddish as they mature.
Xerochrysum is cultivated as a groundcover in temperate gardens for its attractive downy foliage and clusters of large bright yellow chrysanthemum-like flowers which appear on and off throughout most of the year.
Xyris
Xyris flowers are summer flowering perennials that belong to the Xyridaceae family.
They can be found in open areas and moist soils throughout North America, Central America, and the West Indies.
They may be best known for their purple flower color but they also come in shades of white.
Xyris flowers have a very unique appearance because of their sessile leaves which grow from the base of the flower stem.
