Brachyscome
Hardy Annual
Mixed colours
9cm pot
 
Brachyscome is a genus within the daisy family hailing from Australasia. It can be annual or perennial depending on the species, though this is largely irrelevant in our UK climate where, unable to survive winter temperatures, all species tend to be treated as annual bedding.
 
Brachyscome is valued for its extremely easy-going nature and abundance of flowers over an impressively long period. They range in colour, with shades of purple, blue, white, or pink, complemented by attractive fine, feathery foliage which often forms a neat, bushy mound.
