BRACHYCOME SEEDS SWAN RIVER DAISY 60 BRACHYCOME SEEDS IN SOUTH AFRICA

BRACHYCOME iberidifolia, or Swan River Daisy A care-free perennial that forms clouds of soft colour. The dainty, star-like blooms sit on top of mounds of feathery foliage. Often grown as an annual. Dozens of beautiful, dainty, 2.5cm flowers appear all at one time, most often in light hues, each with a yellow centre rimmed in white. It is one of the most profuse and long-flowering plants, each often producing well over 100 blue to purple flowers. Flowers bloom until late autumn; it flowers so heavily that the foliage is often obscured. The cheerful little pinwheels form at the ends of the stalks and are held above pale green, feathery foliage. The plant is a pretty companion for verbena and coreopsis. The feathery foliage forms an interesting contrast when used with broad leaf plants such as morning glory. Its tidy, mounding growth habit is welcome toward the front of the border or as an edging. Brachycome is a good choice for filling in around tall, leggy plants and carpeting bare spots. In a container or window box, brachycome sends its short, sprawling stems cascading over the rim and showering flowers over the sides. They are especially effective as mass plantings, draping over retaining walls, in pots, hanging baskets and as borders. With minimal care this species is a prolific flowerer and is a beautiful addition to any garden.   View our other items by clicking on the shield:
