Ferny soft foliage comes to mind.
The grass green of Brachscome multifida leaves form a soft mat. The yellow- centered lavender daisy
flowers are about 3/4" across. The plant is about 6" tall and spreads
18-24". It is usually in bloom. It does not require deadheading.
Plants that provide so much color often require lots of work to keep them up. It
can be over watered, especially with overhead water. It is not particularly long
lived, becoming rather ratty after a couple of years. I use
Brachyscome multifida for the near
constant show of flowers. It will not take traffic at all and should not be used
with dogs or in areas that raking is required. The Cut Leaf Daisy will take medium to strong light.
It is native to Australia
