Description:
Felicia amelloides, commonly known as the Blue Marguerite Daisy, is a hardy, evergreen perennial prized for its vibrant sky-blue, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centres. Blooming from spring through autumn, this compact and bushy plant provides long-lasting colour and is highly attractive to bees and butterflies.
