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 interms of their colourful display, but their assistance in erosion control and weed suppression. Pacific Tide has masses of light mauve flowers, which fade to white with age, cover the plant for much of the year. Better than average heat tolerance. Grows approx 20cm tall x 50cm wide.
