Notes
Swan River daisy (Brachyscome iberidifolia) is an annual for borders, containers, and annual beds. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 12 to 18 inches tall and wide. The blue, violet, or white flowers have yellow to black centers and are fragrant. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Candy Stripe moss phlox, Hollyhock, and Red fescue.
