Description:
Brachyscome is one of Australia’s favourite native daisies due to their versatility and beauty. Brachyscome are used primarily as a colourful ground cover or as a container plant. Brachyscome are short-lived perennials, meaning they will repeat flower for up to three years as a rule. In that time, they will add great value to the garden, not only in terms of their colourful display, but their assistance in erosion control and weed suppression. B.
