Description

Brachyscome multifida 'New Amethyst' is a charming, compact perennial prized for its profusion of delicate, inch-wide, amethyst-blue daisy flowers and its finely divided, gray-green, ferny foliage. This Australian native forms a neat, mounding clump of airy, textured leaves that provide a soft, elegant backdrop for the continuous floral display. From spring through summer, and often into autumn, it produces an abundance of small, starry, daisy-like flowers in a soft, luminous amethyst-purple with bright golden-yellow centers, creating a long-lasting, ethereal display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant once established, and low-maintenance, it is an outstanding choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, containers, coastal gardens, and as a colorful, long-blooming ground cover.
