Brachyscome "Pink Swan River Daisy" 4Liter

Botanical Name: Brachyscome spp. (Pink Cultivars)

Common Names: Pink Swan River Daisy, Pink Brachyscome, Pink Daisy Bush

📌 Product Description

Brachyscome (pink varieties) is a charming, compact flowering plant valued for its masses of delicate daisy-like blooms in soft pink tones. The flowers feature bright yellow centres and appear continuously through the warmer months, creating a light, airy display above fine, fern-like foliage.

This cheerful plant forms a neat mound and is ideal for adding colour to borders, containers, hanging baskets, and rock gardens. Its long flowering season and easy-care nature make it a popular choice for South African gardens.

Brachyscome is especially effective when planted in groups, where its abundant flowers create a carpet of soft pastel colour.
