BRACHYSCOME – swan river Daisy seeds

Brachycome iberidifolia, or Swan River Daisy, is a care-free annual that forms clouds of soft colour. The dainty, star-like blooms sit on top of mounds of feathery foliage

Dozens of beautiful, dainty, 2.5cm (1 inch) flowers appear all at one time, most often in light hues, each with a yellow centre rimmed in white.

This is one of the most profuse and long-flowering annuals, each plant producing clouds of blue to purple flowers from July until late autumn. Flowering so heavily that the feathery foliage is often obscured, its tidy, mounding growth habit is useful in borders or as an edging. Also a good choice for filling in around tall, leggy plants and carpeting bare spots. Especially effective draping over retaining walls, in pots and hanging baskets.

SOWING ADVICE

Sow inside at a temperature of 20 Celsius and above in March-April. Sow the flower seeds on the surface of good quality seed sowing compost and do not cover the seeds, light will help the germination. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days. Transplant the seedlings when large enough to handle into small pots or trays.
