Brachyscome multifida, also known as Cut-leafed daisy, is a herbaceous perennial that is native to Australia. It has finely cut, fern-like leaves that form a small mound and produces daisy-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, white, and blue from spring to autumn. The plant grows to a height of 30-40 cm and prefers well-draining soils in full sun to partial shade. It is a popular choice for low-maintenance gardens, rockeries, and as a border plant. Brachyscome multifida is also a great option for attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies to your garden.
