Brilliant Blue Flowers
Few flowering plants provide the distinctive clear blue colour of Felicia amelloides. Its masses of blue flowers contrast beautifully against their golden-yellow centres, creating a long-lasting display during the warmer months.
Regular deadheading can encourage further flowering and help maintain a neat, compact plant.
Growing Felicia amelloides in Melbourne
Felicia amelloides performs particularly well in a sunny, well-drained position. Melbourne’s climate suits it well, although protection from severe frost and prolonged winter wet is beneficial.
Water regularly while establishing, then reduce watering as the plant develops. Good drainage is particularly important, as it prefers not to remain constantly waterlogged.
A light prune after a major flowering flush helps maintain a dense, bushy shape and encourages fresh growth.
Perfect for Pots, Borders and Colourful Gardens
Its compact size makes Blue Marguerite extremely versatile. Plant it along pathways, towards the front of garden beds, amongst contrasting foliage plants or in decorative pots.
For greater impact, plant several together to create drifts of brilliant blue flowers throughout the garden.
Bring Brilliant Blue Colour to Your Garden
With its exceptional flower colour, long flowering season and compact growth habit, Felicia amelloides is an excellent choice for gardeners wanting maximum colour without a high-maintenance plant.
