Rhodanthe anthemoides

Common Name:
Paper Daisy

Description:
Rhodanthe anthemoides, commonly known as Paper Daisy, is a charming and delicate flowering plant admired for its crisp, papery blooms and soft, natural appeal. This variety produces masses of small, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centres surrounded by white, papery petals that retain their shape and colour even when dried. Forming a low, spreading mound of fine green foliage, it creates a light and airy display ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and pots. Well-suited to Melbourne conditions, it thrives in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil and benefits from light, regular watering during establishment. Flowering from winter through spring and often into early summer, it provides valuable seasonal colour and attracts pollinators. Its drought tolerance once established and suitability for dried arrangements make it both practical and декоратив.
