Description:
Brachyscome ‘Fresco Candy’ is a charming, compact Australian native ground cover, known for its abundant display of soft pink daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centres. Flowering from spring through to autumn, this hardy and floriferous perennial attracts bees and butterflies, adding life and colour to any garden. Its fine, lush green foliage forms a neat, low-growing mound, making it ideal for rockeries, borders, hanging baskets, and container planting.
