    The crowded inflorescence of Helichrysum nudifolium comprises many pale yellow to lemon yellow flowerheads. Their bracts are woolly and blunt-tipped. The flowerheads become 4 mm to 5 mm long, 2 mm to 3 mm wide. Flowering happens mainly in summer, but may commence in midspring, continuing through autumn.

    The pale velvety flowering stem has small, narrow stem-leaves spaced alternately up its length and reducing in size to the top (Pooley, 1998; Van Wyk and Malan, 1997; iNaturalist).
