Description
The "Fresco Candy" cultivar of Brachyscome angustifolia (Swan River Daisy) showcases stunning mauve-pink blooms. Native to Western Australia, this plant is not only a nod to the local flora but also a vibrant addition to any garden or indoor setting. As a low-growing perennial, it's an ideal choice for borders, containers, or as a charming ground cover, enlivening spaces with its gentle colour.
When planted in the ground, it's beneficial to mix organic compost into sandy soils to provide the plant with the best foundation. "Fresco Candy" thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires moderate watering, adjusting to slightly less during Makuru (Winter). For lush and continuous blooms, feed it with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in Djilba (Late Winter to Early Spring). A light pruning post-flowering can help maintain its neat appearance and promote more blooms in the following season.
