Preferred Soil: | Prefers slighty dry to moist conditions and well-drained soils but will tolerate a range of moisture levels |
It has delicate, daisy-like flowers that bloom profusely in shades of white, pink, and soft purple, adding charm and colour to any garden. Its ability to spread and thrive in various conditions makes it an excellent choice for groundcover, brightening borders, and filling rockeries.
Care Considerations: | Low to moderate watering is needed as it becomes drought-tolerant once established. An organic mulch is recommended, particularly when establishing, to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Fertilisation is not strictly required, but a light feed with balanced fertiliser can enhance flowering. While pruning is not necessary, a light trim after flowering will encourage new blooms and help maintain a compact shape. |
