Brachyscome hybrida Radiant Magenta is a fast growing Australian native perennial that delivers a brilliant burst of bright magenta pink daisy flowers for most of the year.

A fantastic butterfly attractor and one of the most versatile native groundcovers available.

• Bright magenta pink daisy flowers almost year round
• Fast growing and low maintenance
• Attracts butterflies
• Highly drought, frost and wind tolerant
• Evergreen native perennial
• Generally pest and disease free

Key Features:

• Soil: Adaptable to most soil types including clay, loam and sandy soils. Ensure good drainage. Mulch well to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Light: Performs best in full sun but tolerates semi shade. More sun generally means more flowers.
• Watering: Keep moist during dry periods. Once established, very low water needs. Avoid overwatering in heavy soils.
• Fertiliser: Apply a low phosphorus slow release fertiliser at planting and annually in spring. Liquid feed during the growing season to encourage flowering. Avoid high phosphorus fertilisers as this is an Australian native.
• Maintenance: Low maintenance. Lightly trim after flowering to encourage fresh growth and repeat blooming. Mulch well around the base.
• Flowering: Flowers in spring, summer and autumn. Providing colour for most of the year. Bright magenta pink daisy shaped blooms.

For the best display, give Brachyscome a light trim after each flush of flowers, this encourages a dense, bushy habit and keeps the blooms coming. A little liquid feed at this time works wonders.
