A compact daisy with large bright pink flowers and fine green foliage, ideal for borders or pots.

Many breeders are creating larger flowered forms of Brachyscome and this is one of the best ones with lovely large flowers. It will flower all year and provide a dainty prettiness to flowering meadows and floral borders or pots that immediately sets the mood for a flower filled Australian garden.

Australia’s Brachyscome daisies are so pretty, I think most people don’t even realise they are native. They are ideal low border plants for along the edge of your flower filled cottage garden. They are also pretty when planted in hanging baskets or small pots lining steps or a courtyard, offering an abundant floral display for many months, if not all year. They are also quite low fuss, so could handle a sunny spot at the front of your house provided you do water them regularly.

They would look beautiful planted in multi-coloured drifts with other Brachyscome – if you have the room to try this please send me photos!

They are so versatile and their pretty softness will help you achieve an English look with a plant that suits our climate. They are also very popular with pollinators – particularly butterflies and cute hoverflies.

Requires well-drained soil and full sun. Water regularly but avoid overwatering. Largely unbothered by pests.
