Brachyscome multifida

Common Name:
Cut-leaf Daisy

Description:
Brachyscome multifida, commonly known as the Cut-leaf Daisy, is a hardy and versatile Australian native ground cover that produces a profusion of delicate, daisy-like flowers in shades of mauve, purple, pink, or white. Flowering from spring through autumn, this long-blooming perennial attracts bees and butterflies, making it a fantastic addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Its fine, fern-like green foliage forms a dense, spreading mat, making it ideal for borders, rockeries, hanging baskets, and container planting.

Thriving in well-drained soils, Brachyscome multifida prefers full sun to part shade and is highly drought-tolerant once established. It requires minimal maintenance, with occasional trimming after flowering to promote new blooms and maintain a neat growth habit. Its ability to handle light frost and poor soils makes it a resilient and easy-care choice for Australian gardens.
