Bracteantha 'Daisy Fields Blush'

Common Name:
Strawflower ‘Daisy Fields Blush’

Description:
Bracteantha ‘Daisy Fields Blush’ is a vibrant and sun-loving Australian native perennial known for its soft pink to blush-toned papery blooms and long flowering season. Belonging to the strawflower group, this variety features silvery-green foliage and a compact, bushy form that becomes covered in cheerful daisy-like flowers from spring well into autumn. The distinctive, dry-textured petals retain their colour and shape for an extended time, making them excellent for both fresh and dried floral arrangements. Suited perfectly to Melbourne’s climate, this plant thrives in full sun, is tolerant of light frost, and prefers well-drained soils. Once established, it is drought hardy and low maintenance. ‘Daisy Fields Blush’ works beautifully in garden beds, borders, native landscapes, or pots, offering a soft pastel contrast to more vivid natives or as a gentle highlight in cottage-style plantings. Regular deadheading encourages an even longer blooming season.
