- Brachyscome ‘Pacific Tide’
A compact mounding daisy that does not sucker, very free flowering for most of the year. Mauve flowers that fade to white are the feature of this tough and easy care plant. Great for rockeries and borders, lovely in pots alone or as a mixed pot to bring some colour. Can take some frost, mild acid to alkaline soils, flowers best in a sunny spot. Feed in spring and again in summer for best performance.

WHERE TO GET YOUR PLANT
Once you have found the plant that looks right for you, the next step is where to buy it.

Specialist nurseries are also able to give great advice, and if they don’t have the plant you have planned on, they can often suggest alternatives that will also work well for you.
