General Description

Swan River daisy is an herbaceous, bushy and spreading annual that is native to western and southern Australia. The Bravo Formula Mix has downy-soft gray-green leaves with a showy display of a collection of blue-purple, violet-pink or white flowers all summer long, often with black eyes in the middle of the daisy flowers. Being compact plants, they have particular favor for use in hanging baskets.

Swan River daisy can survive in a variety of soil conditions and is drought tolerant, but requires well drained soil and full sun. Pinch back plants throughout the growing season for fresh flushes of new blossoms. This plant is perfect as a bedding plant, edging, mixed border member or as part of a container or seasonal hanging basket.
