swan river daisy

A charming, delicate and frothy half hardy annual daisy often used in summer bedding schemes, patio and balcony displays, in containers, window boxes and sometimes in pictorial annual flower mixes. This adaptable species will often grow in poor and sandy soils and is tolerant of coastal conditions too. It produces a profusion of pretty daisy flowers that can range from pale purple-pink and pale blue-purple to deeper pink-purples and violet colours often with yellow-green centres that can turn bronze-brown as they age. It blooms in full sun throughout summer and into early autumn on an upright but sometimes quite lax, floppy plant with attractive finely cut mid-green foliage.
