Description
"Fresco Purple" is a captivating cultivar of Brachyscome multifida (Swan River Daisy), boasting delightful mauve-purple blossoms. As a testament to Western Australia's rich biodiversity, this native plant can seamlessly grace gardens and homes alike with its vivid blooms. Being a low-growing perennial, "Fresco Purple" is perfect for creating vibrant borders, using in containers, or as a picturesque ground cover.
In the ground, enriching sandy soils with organic compost will help this daisy flourish. It prefers full sun to partial shade and enjoys consistent watering, though it's advisable to reduce the amount during Makuru (Winter). To encourage a profusion of flowers, treat it with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser come Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring). After its blooming period, a gentle pruning helps maintain its compact form and readies it for subsequent flowering seasons.
