Brachyscome graminea
Brachyscome graminea, or Grass Daisy, is a graceful, herbaceous perennial native to Australia, often found in moist grasslands and along creek banks. Growing up to 30 cm tall, this charming plant features narrow, grass-like foliage and dainty, pale mauve to white daisy-like flowers with yellow centers, blooming primarily in spring and summer.
Grass Daisy thrives in well-drained soils with full sun to partial shade and can adapt to both moist and moderately dry conditions. Its delicate flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to biodiversity-friendly gardens. With its low-growing, clumping habit, Brachyscome graminea is ideal for rockeries, borders, and as a groundcover in native gardens or wildflower displays.
This hardy and visually appealing plant combines ornamental charm with ecological benefits, making it an excellent choice for naturalistic landscaping and habitat restoration projects.
