Fairy Plant: Swan River Daisy - Brachyscome 'Radiant Magenta'

I've been looking at the Brachyscome for years because the flower is so fun. I finally got a chance to test one in my garden last year and fell in love with it - it really blooms all summer long! 

This little gem can handle the hot sun and the soil needs to dry out in between watering sessions so - on top of it blooming all summer, it really the perfect fairy garden plant. 

This is an annual plant, meaning it will not come back next year. Low maintenance too. No need to deadhead to keep it blooming.

Attracts butterflies. Native to Australia & New Zealand.
