A charming perennial, Brachyscome angustifolia ‘Mauve Delight’ is recognized for its daisy-like blooms in a delicate mauve hue. The flowers, with a distinct central yellow disk, create a soft contrast, making it particularly eye-catching in borders and containers. Blooming prolifically from early summer through autumn, ‘Mauve Delight’ brings consistent colour and vibrancy. With a compact, mounding growth habit, typically reaching a height and spread of around 40cm, it creates excellent weed-suppressing cushions of ground cover. An excellent ‘filler’ plant, the fine, fern-like foliage adds texture while complementing other garden plantings beautifully. Thriving best in full sun Brachyscome is also happy in light, partial shade, preferring any well-drained soil. A low-maintenance yet high-impact choice, it is drought-tolerant once established, making it perfect for gardeners seeking lasting beauty. Beloved by pollinators, it attracts butterflies, adding life and movement to outdoor spaces. This versatile plant is hardy down to -5 degrees C and ideal for enhancing garden diversity with subtle, enduring charm.
