Description
Brachyscome multifida ‘Break O Day,’ a cultivar of the Australian native Cut-Leaf Daisy, is a hardy, compact plant that offers a charming display of delicate, daisy-like flowers. This cultivar is particularly valued for its deep blue-purple blooms that appear prolifically from Late Spring (Kambarang) through to Late Summer (Bunuru), attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its finely cut foliage forms a dense, ground-covering mat, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, rockeries, or as a border plant, and it thrives in Perth’s climate with minimal care.
Best grown in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil, ‘Break O Day’ enjoys full sun to part shade and is well-suited for both garden beds and pots. With regular but moderate watering, this drought-tolerant plant will reward you with season-long colour. Occasional feeding with a slow-release fertiliser will enhance its blooming, while trimming back spent flowers encourages a more extended flowering season. This resilient native brings vibrant colour to any water-wise garden, providing lasting beauty with minimal upkeep.
