Bracteantha ‘Daisy Fields Lemon’

Common Name:
Daisy Fields Lemon Paper Daisy

Description:
Bracteantha ‘Daisy Fields Lemon’ is a bright and cheerful flowering perennial known for its lemon-yellow papery blooms and long-lasting performance in both the garden and as a cut or dried flower. A cultivated form of the Australian native Bracteantha bracteata, this variety produces masses of soft, lemon-hued flowers with golden centres atop compact, bushy foliage. Its flowers have a crisp, dry texture that makes them excellent for crafts and arrangements, and they hold their colour well when dried. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Daisy Fields Lemon’ is well adapted to Melbourne’s climate and is especially tolerant of heat, wind, and dry conditions once established. It blooms prolifically from spring through to autumn and can continue flowering into winter in mild regions. Ideal for use in native garden beds, mixed borders, containers, or as a mass planting for a field of colour, it also attracts bees and butterflies and is a favourite in pollinator-friendly designs.
